Oil painting
Nostalgia
Original title: La nostalgie
A woman on all fours with a chessboard on her back, and postcards pinned to the wall.
She leans over a cracked lavatory bowl and turns a tired eye on us. Three chess pieces are still standing on her chequered back. On the wall there is a tabby cat, and higher up a row of pinned-up views: beach, mountain, red fields. Floor, porcelain and skin are all cracking like ground that has had no rain. Homesickness, as the word says, is first of all a sickness.

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.
