A Mission to Mars
Original title: Une mission pour Mars
Two unlikely astronauts in green jumpers, killing time by the porthole.
One has a hand to his mouth; the other has grabbed his own foot and is sticking out his tongue. Between them, in a ring of gold, hangs the rust-red planet, with stars and a weightless packet of cigarettes around it. The words “Space Agency” can just be read. The great voyage as seen from the inside: a lot of waiting, and some gymnastics.

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.
