A digital painting of a clown. Not just any random clown, but one floating through the air like a balloon. Here, the clown is no longer the one engaged in making balloon animals, but has become a balloon itself.
It is because of this that an awkwardness arises. A clown stands for many people as something scary, something to be avoided. That is why it is good that clowns exist only in the confined world of the circus and shielded by the screen in horror films. A flying clown, a balloon like clown no longer has this protective layer. Such a clown can go anywhere. Floating above the city, above people's homes. Scary, uncomfortable and fortunately also quick to puncture. The work is a combination of AI generated work, photoshop collage and digital painting. This digital painting is only available as a print through Werk aan de Muur and will not be offered for sale anywhere else.
