Oil painting
Power and the People
Original title: L’autorité et le peuple
A diptych on a red fortress wall: on one side the fist, on the other the people’s reply.
On the left a colossal forearm thrusts out of a carved door, fist clenched. On the right, seen from the ground, a man lying on his back answers the battlements in the least ambiguous way available to him. A frog on a lily pad looks on from above. Two panels, and one very old conversation.

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.
