I was always fascinated by the colours used in industrial environments, warning posters, protective paints etc. The discrepancy of cheerful colours and dangerous, poisonous ingredients and contents has always fascinated me. That is the background on the collage „Men at Work“. It is on canvas 50×70 cm, I used printouts of photos, corrugated cardboard and acrylic paint.
Thank you for looking in!
