Curiosity

Original title: La curiosité

Woodland, a pond, and in the mist an elephant you do not notice at first.

Head and trunk are made of vapour between the pines, and the trunk reaches down to the bank as if to test the water. It takes a moment to find him, and after that you see nothing else. Call it the elephant in the room, moved outdoors: curiosity is what was in front of you all along, waiting to be looked at.

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.
