About The Artwork
"Time Keeper" is a painting by Kris Gebhardt, created on a 48" by 45" hand-made distressed wood panel. The artwork depicts a life-sized partial view of clock hands against a grungy white and faded yellow background, reminiscent of an aged concrete wall. The focal point of the composition is a large bald character wearing a dark one-piece robe, resembling the iconic image of "Uncle Fester." The character's stout figure exudes stoicism and minimal expression, immediately capturing attention. This enigmatic figure represents Father Time, symbolizing the omnipresent force that governs the passage of time. In a thought-provoking twist, Father Time holds puppet strings connected to a smaller figure dressed in a vibrant purple suit with a golden tie. The puppet figure, with a skull-like head, symbolizes the haunted existence of someone who lacks control over their time. The frozen clock hands at 12:15 emphasize the inextricable link between time and destiny. Scratched into the clock face are the words "I Got your fate," chillingly reminding viewers of time's power over our lives. Adding a touch of whimsy to the composition, a mouse scurries up the curved side of the clock, evoking the familiar nursery rhyme "Hickory Dickory Dock." This playful element contrasts with the gravity of the overall theme, serving as a reminder of the fleeting nature of time. The central message of "Time Keeper" strongly resonates: if we do not take control of our time, someone else will. Through powerful imagery and symbolism, Kris Gebhardt's gritty and unapologetic style invites deep contemplation. Ultimately, the painting reminds us that life itself is subject to the relentless ticking of the clock. Mixed media on half inch birch plywood mounted to one half inch wood cross bars. On Exhibit @ Red Dot Miami Nov. 30 – Dec 4, During Art Basel Week 2016
