About this artwork
A recent series of work, depicting nostalgic shopping malls in America with an ironic undertone.
Some of the works feature figures waving to the viewer: simultaneously cheerful and melancholic, these people are trying to maintain themselves in their changing environment. There is a sense of alienation, but also an acceptance of the inevitability of the end of things. Of course, every end is also a new beginning, and the work also refers to the continuous… transformation and cyclical processes of nature and the human condition.
Titled 'Happiness Machines', these paintings refer to the episode of the same name from the series 'The Century of the Self' by British documentary maker Adam Curtis, which raises questions about consumerism and commodification: the process whereby more and more aspects of human behavior and its results are expressed in monetary value rather than intrinsic or inherent value.
