This painting symbolizes how todays pop-idols are almost worshiped as modern gods. The impossibly perfect lives they show influence the goals of the generation. ---- This painting is part of the Abstract Portraits series. A series of work reflecting the over-stimulated man of the current times. There’s a million messages fired your way every day, things you should want, places you need to go, people you should envy, it never stops. It’s no wonder today’s youth get stuck in burn-outs because they just can’t seem to achieve the made up perfection in their heads. It makes for a deformed humanity, a parody of what is human. This is the feeling I portray in this series, in shape resembling portraits, but completely twisted by all these little bits of information into a new image. A busy and chaotic visual, with a layer of empty black beneath.

Mathijs Vissers (1989, The Netherlands) is a Dutch artist who works with both traditional, digital media and the crossroads between them. The society we build for ourselves changes us as human beings. In a rapid pace we develop, but every step forward also has an effect on mankind as a whole. It’s these effects that interest me and form the starting point for what I do. My work is a reflection of aspects of society that influence our behavior. Through narrative series of paintings I aim to tell these stories that either have shaped, will shape or are shaping us right now. Through the combination of bold color and contemporary subjects I try to get the viewer to reflect on themselves and society as a whole.
