About this artwork
Political and social satire. Staging of De Heem's 'Still life with a lobster'. The lobster has become a real social marker, it is only there for special occasions, a witness and unwitting actor in a meeting between two embittered worlds: the governing and the governed. Symbolising both strength and vulnerability, it is a perfect metaphor for the current political and social context.
Everything in this painting reminds us of abundance and splendour… (crystal glass, gold nuggets, silver plate...), reserved for an elite, completely disconnected from reality, particularly fond of lecturing by repeating that the trend is towards sobriety...
However, it would seem in the interpretation of the final image, of the picture as a whole, that the game is over, Mister Lobster has taken his place in the jacuzzi, enjoying an aged cognac and a Cuban cigar...

« My painting will not leave you indifferent, whether you like it or not, there is nothing trivial about it and it doesn't just follow an artistic trend or an aesthetic trend to please. »
Jonathan Ouisse is a French artist who has exhibited his paintings in Hungary, the United Kingdom, and France. Influenced by the pictorial gestures of the Italian Renaissance and the hip hop scene in the 1990s, his pop surrealist works are often 'grotesque'. Ouisse ridicules humanity for its vanity through symbolism inspired by politics, the media, environmental upheavals, and childhood. He creates using acrylics and spray paint on canvas or wood.
