TO TRAVEL UNDER WATER (painting)

Description

Narrative

As curious this gibbon is, he imitates mankind by also going diving. In the water he has little to hold on to, because like humans, he has no tail. Therefore, he has to let go of control and surrender to the unknown. Under water he meets strange fishcultures like the italian moustachefish, the russian hatfish and the alligatorfish. He stares out his eyes, what a wonderful trip under water!

Toyism Paintings

Toyism paintings are nothing if not bizarre but recognizable imageries drawn from reality, the surreal, and fantasy. The intense play of lines, shapes, dots and colors is intended to help open the viewer’s mind. And to critical thinking about the human condition in the present day world. Toyism is figurative, contemporary and based on a story. These stories can cover all kinds of subjects, from happy to critical or serious subjects. Toyism paintings are very labour intensive. Every painting consist of several layers of paint. Making the colours bright and vibrant and able to withstand the test of time.

Paintings are created by a mixed group of professional artists from around the world with diverse cultural backgrounds and working in various disciplines. Yet all artists have a like-minded view of how to experience this art and inspire each other. No matter their own backgrounds or beliefs, everyone can express themselves in this style without losing their own value or feeling. Therefore every toyist can influence and enrich the style. Hence toyists tell their own story and depict it.
