Renaissance of Wonder I Print

Renaissance or Wonder is an oil painting, consisting of five canvasses of various sizes. The whole measures390x550 cm. The work was created during a working period in Leipzig, Dec '15-Januari '16. Originally, the work would be part of the Slumberland Manifesto series, but new influences and surroundings gave the painting a fundamental new twist. Therefore, the work fits well in my oeuvre, both pictorial and content, but in terms of colour and image processing, it actually differs from previous works within the above series. What is Renaissance or Wonder about? The work of art is, in a sense, a spiritual work. The work is a manifestation, in its abstraction and story, about the astonishment (and hope) of the "(re)birth" of a new age. What the new time will be and what it looks like is not entirely clear to me. It comes still, and although it may already be on our radar, even though the whole is still abstract, or formless. If an age has a form in the first place. The work depicts as much as possible that strange sense, but also the image of our current environment in a broad perspective. It is not easy to describe this work subtly in substance. Visually, the work consists of three decors: the decayed theatre (the world in all its beauty, action and wealth), the middle segment (the original stage from which the new world emerges) and the people / actors on the Foreground, representing now. They are standing in front of the new era, but trying to ignore or suppress the new one. They act on their scaffold, and apparently perform their last piece for themselves. The work represented Now, as many spectators told me.
