Original artwork description:

Apart from Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the Elder I have also admired the works of Van Gogh and often think about the way he had suffered with mental illness for most of his life.
I wanted to portray some of his works within one piece. I decided the best way to pay homage to Van Gogh was to reproduce the bedroom that he frequented while staying in Arles, France. However, instead of just reproducing the bedroom as Van Gogh had portrayed, I added elements of some of his most famous paintings. These being the Sunflowers, potatoes in a bowl, the self-portraits, boots, cypress trees, lady with the baby and the old man in sorrow sat on the bed. I hope to have portrayed a family life that looks as if times are hard which in a way depicts how Van Gogh endured.
Through the relationship between the various elements within the work hints of narrative and representation may emerge.
Perfect for adding a statement piece to living spaces that may create a talking point with visitors.
Executed in good quality oil paints, painted on all sides, and finished with a glaze of gloss varnish to protect against sunlight and dust. It just needs a nail or wall fitting to sit flush against the wall.
You will receive a signed certificate of authenticity.
The painting is 24 x 32 inches, with a depth of 0.6 inches and is on stretched canvas.
All art is professionally packaged to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. My works have been shipped worldwide.
About me:
I am a painter, mostly in oils although I have begun to switch between oils and acrylics.
I love to paint, love colours, shapes’, and textures. I love the idea that a different story can be read into each of my paintings and each viewer may interpret a story different to another.
