Oil painting
Guitarist
Original title: Guitariste
An old musician has put his head clean through his guitar.
The soundboard is smashed, the ribs are split and the strings hang down like gold thread; the instrument sits on his shoulders like a ruff, or a yoke. White hair flying, eyes elsewhere, he is no longer playing the guitar. He has become it. A picture of vocation, at the point where it leaves room for nothing else.

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.
