Joker
A clown in harlequin motley at the drum kit: it is the fool who keeps time.
Red nose, cap and bells, arms flung wide behind red drums and cymbals. The bass drum carries a gilded ram’s head, a padlock and an old microphone, and the toms are marked with signs, an Eye of Horus among them. The joker is the card that can stand for any other. Here he sets the beat for the whole party.

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.
