Oil painting
Gold’s Owner
Original title: Gold’s owner
A face set into a brick wall in which every currency has its own stone.
Dollar, euro, pound, yen, rouble, franc, rupee, shekel: the symbols are mortared in like plaques. At the top a crucible pours molten gold onto the brick marked “Au”. At the foot of the wall coins lie in the soil and weeds grow out of them. The owner of the gold is smiling. He is also part of the brickwork.

About the series
Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
