You Can’t Get a Suntan on the Moon, 2022
Oil on Canvas
60 x 40 cm
“𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘯, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦…” said once Love and Rockets. Ever since I’ve wondered how it would be to contemplate the sunset from the moon. The versatility of surrealism, intensity of oil paint and extension of my imagination when listening to gothic rock have given me the opportunity of envisioning myself right there, I hope you yourself too.
This painting rested among dozens of amazing works inspired by the sunset at the Südfoyer of the Kunsthalle Bremen, organised by the team of Youth For Art in support of the main exhibition of the Kunsthalle as an opportunity for young artists (08.08.2022 – 10.01.2023).
