LORIENNE LOTZ, The public 'mon cher' is stupid (after Daumier)
Oil and charcoal on canvas, 140 x 140 cm
‘I attempt to re-connect with the deeply embedded narratives which underpin the dichotomies of the contemporary human experience at both a microcosmic and macrocosmic level thus revealing the paradoxes, irony, contrasts, and counter-points that are in constant friction to one another, and yet are always interdependent. It is from this that disparate images arise in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality is questioned and where the results are deconstructed in an attempt to subvert meaning so as to enable a multifaceted interpretation.’
