« Art has a lot to say, it literally screams! »
Sigurd Wendland is an accomplished German painter with international exposure. His body of work acts as the world stage, with his subjects the principal actors, carrying themes such as greed, militarism, religious disillusion and the gap between rich and poor in their postures, expressions and contexts. Wendland's drunk, fragile, consumerist and unrestrained characters come to life in sketch-like form, which ultimately reminds us of how uncertain life is and how unfinished society's story remains.
