About the Artwork:
“Lively potted yellow flowers appear delicately staged in an unfit, icy environment. Meanwhile, mysterious, darting eyes menacingly float overhead in a two-dimensional panel. The interplay between the scarce imagery creates a heavy sense of tension within the tight picture plane. Few and Far Between presents an imaginative and dreamlike corner of a world, devoid of logic, that seemingly expands into a bigger picture.” – Lolo Gem
