This painting is a painting in the series of the Edda project.
135 x 185 cm, oil on canvas
Finished Gaia-Pythia
Strange painting. Don’t know what to think of it, yet. But it surprises me. And that’s what I always tell my students: “Surprise Yourself!” So that’s probably a good thing.
DNA structures combined with this strange, ferocious woman. The beginning of the world, the Ëarth Mother”.
Oil on canvas. 70 x 90 cm.
Detail of a new painting, with Gaia as the main character. The painting isn’t finished yet, but I think the face will do (although it’s rather tricky, to show “work in progress”).
Out of her head (and eyes) DNA structures are “pouring out”. So see this as part One. There’s more to come!
And: “Die begin van die aarde”! (poem by Antjie Krog)
Oil on canvas, 70 x 90 cm (detail approximately 20 x 30 cm)
I was not present at the time, but I think these drawings where made approximately one hour after Charles Darwin published his book “On the origin of species”, in 1859.
By the way, these drawings are for sale. If you do buy them, I will donate the money to charity: “SAVE THE DINOSAUR”.
Promise.
