Periscopic Child

or the counter-kitsch still life

Temper, Acrylic, ink and Holywater on Canvas

this is 4.5 by 5.5 feet

Yes you are right it looks like a Nerdrum, but actually I am counteracting, or should i say making pun at the emptiness of the drama found in nerdrum's paintings, the kitsch effect...

therefore the child on his painting was metamorphosed into an already dead child...the staff symbolising wisdom, but it lays on the ground signifying that it too lay down, and the twelve eyes stands for the twelve tribes of Juda watching the fall of Man on his last days on earth...
