This flower face Mr Japandi has a wife called Ms. Japandi and so it is a diptych. This flower face is an artistically shaped face, which does not meet the normal criteria for a face. It is face that does look sculpted. Mr Japandi is its name because the whole work gives a Japanese impression anyway. The flowers in the background but also the light flowers in the face, have a real Japanese feel. Stoic he looks, this gentleman, expressionless it seems. The flowing face, fluid because of the black lines used to shape his face, looks somewhat submissive. Past his face you look into the depths. Is this a traditional, is it a head from a shadow play, or maybe even a balloon, who knows. Either way, this work is intriguing. The colours used in this surreal work are blue, beige, taupe, cream, grey and black. This work is beautiful on its own but the second one next to it by Ms. Japandi is, of course, even more beautiful.
