Ignorance is Bliss Painting

This piece is born from a design for a mural in Uptown New York that ended up going in a different artistic direction. I was so excited about that original design I decided to paint it regardless but on canvas instead of on a building. After a year and some change, I completed it as my most intricate and accomplished piece to date. It joins the ranks of my painting series "Urban Jungle". The series started in 2017 in NY and is ongoing. It opens a dialogue between urban issues and nature. Through it, I raise questions about the relationship between our kind and our surroundings, the imposed force or the complicity we have with nature in its general form, and the overall struggles of our human nature. In this one, two kids embrace what childhood gives us in abundance: fierceness and a sense of invincibility in recklessness. They follow each other with some complicity to jump in a dark water with gold reflections and a flamingo flies away as they approach. They jump from a messy jungle into a less cluttered horizon under an abstract Moon and a flock of cranes painted in a Japanese fashion. I want this piece as an ode to our blissful ignorance when we are kids, the risks we take without caring and the boldness we have venturing into the world of adults we fantasise about. ~ TECHNICAL DETAILS The artwork is sold stretched on wooden stretcher bars, varnished with satin invisible UV protection and ready to hang.
