Oil painting
Breakfast on the Grass
Original title: La Mont-chêne symbolique
An oak on a hill netted with gold; in the sky, a cup and a saucer.
On the white saucer lies a single acorn. The empty cup floats in the turquoise like a daytime moon. The dark hill is caught in a golden mesh that could be roots or veins. Manet’s picnic is reduced to its bare essentials: the tree, its fruit, and something to serve it in.

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.
