Acrylic on canvas measuring 90 x 122 cm. Intuitive work.
This painting is a vibrant and whimsical piece characterized by its use of bold colours and a unique, somewhat naive or folk-art style. It depicts a chaotic, yet playful scene filled with numerous figures, both human-like and animal-like, intertwined and interacting in various ways. the overall composition is very busy, with segments overlapping and merging, creating a sense of dynamic movement. The brushstrokes are visible, contributing to a hand-painted feel. The forms are not strictly realistic, but rather abstract and symbolic, emphasizing character and emotion over precise representation. There is a strong sense of line defining the figures and shapes.
'That's Life' is an expressive and narrative painting that invites the viewer to explore its many individual scenes and interpret the chaotic yet coherent tapestry of life it represents.
