Oil painting
Obsession
A giant head rises out of the meadow with its brain exposed, and a screw driven into it.
A chain holds the skull, a drop runs down the forehead, and the cheeks are plating over with gold like a mosaic. The blue eyes glare up from under the brow. All around, the countryside is at peace: a cow grazes, a gilded statuette suns herself. Some people have a screw loose. This is what it looks like when one has been tightened.

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.
