Oil painting
Source of Humour
Original title: Source d’humour
A terracotta head, filled to the brim with water, wearing a perfectly deadpan smile.
It stands on an empty pink heath like a jar left beside the path. In the distance a man approaches with a bucket in each hand. He has come to draw from it. Humour really is a spring: you get there on foot, and you take home as much as you can carry.

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.
