About the Item
One night while watching television I stumbled upon this gameshow called Lingo where two teams have to guess a word within a maximum of five turns. Here you see team 1 with candidates Maarten and Wessel trying to guess a five letter word that starts with a 'P'. I thought it would be a great idea to freeze time and just quietly observe what I was watching: two guys standing behind a desk filled with balls in a candy colored environment playing a silly game on national television for my enjoyment. I thought it was pretty interesting to transfer an image from one media (television) to another (painting). Tv reality now became painting reality and to me that makes a huge difference. This scene also reminded me of something that social critic Neil Postman once wrote in one his books. He said: 'A culture fully dedicated to entertainment becomes a trivial culture. Culture death becomes a clear possibility.' And elsewhere Postman wrote: 'The problem isn't that we're laughing instead of thinking, but that we don't know what we're laughing about and why we stopped thinking.' So I also view this painting as a warning sign of the dangers of too much entertainment. Too much of it reduces us to passivity and egoism. At least that's how I feel about it. :: Painting :: Photorealism :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: On the desk right and on the reverse :: Wood Panel :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: No
