Water Babies: Surf’s up but Mama says No
oil on canvas

2022

At the micro moment of awakening, induced by a fragmented chord of surf music in the ear shell, the little goddess water babies experience the instantaneous delirious hyper-augmented journey flowing from the iris on the digitised splashes of the great wave, interrupted by the super ego’s knowing wink.

All That Remains parodies a European genre of still life painting, the vanitas, a serious expression of the artist’s own mortality and the ephemeral. This particular “still life” is not so still or serious. A Master and her Assistant at work (at play) subvert the logic of Dutch Golden Age painting in the context of contemporary materiality.
