Painting Cars

These paintings portray a poignant juxtaposition of the past and present, featuring vintage cars that once symbolized a time of unrestrained freedom and adventure for the middle-aged man. These cars, now depicted as deflated and deteriorating, evoke a sense of lost glory and the encroaching limitations imposed by progress and technology. The slogans scrawled across the canvas seem to mock the outdated ideal of unfettered liberty, pointing to the reality that the very advancements meant to enhance freedom have, in some ways, curtailed it. The work suggests a reflective critique on how modern life's progress, with its pervasive technology, has paradoxically constrained the carefree spirit that these cars once represented. The contrast of the vibrant colors against the distorted form of the car deepens the sentiment of a bygone era, confronting the viewer with the transience of cultural symbols and the complex nature of 'freedom' in a technologically advanced age.
