About this artwork
In the left panel you can see a meeting between the presidents Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump, while the right wing is dominated by a bright yellow gorilla. The title, offspring, offers room for interpretation. After all, both man and gorilla have a common ape-like ancestor. Both gorillas and the two powerful men are known for their pounding, the first literally, the second figuratively.
And there is more: the figures are placed in a room full of abstract,… organic structures. The bright yellow of the gorilla dominates the entire scene; it comes back in Kim's clothes and in the structures in the upper half of the paintings. These different colored structures, however based on real structures, are in fact purely painterly, they create a painterly space and in fact they obstruct the interpretation. You could argue that the gorilla and the structures triumphantly and colorfully triumph over humanity, but you could also think of a dream, maybe even a nightmare.
