Description
The text for this small abstract painting is ‘We are put on this planet to look after each other’. The writing is scratched into the paint and loses itself in the strong colour. It echoes the way we can get distracted from what is important by the messiness of life, and forget to connect with others.
I thought it looked like a little piece of wall fragment after I had completed it, like an ancient relic for a modern audience. There will be several versions in other colours uploaded as they are made.
The board is fixed to wooden cleats and hangs 2 cm in front of the wall surface so it appears to be floating.
