About the work

Hundreds of tiny figures fill the canvas, each a white dot of a head over a small dark body. The ground is crusted and mottled, pale grey and rust in the upper half, sinking into plum and violet towards the bottom edge. A single dark, leaf-like shape sits among the crowd on the right.

In Stolen Time the body is always collective. Here the figures sit so close to the surface that they almost become part of its texture.

About the series

“The pictorial elements organize themselves into almost corporeal morphologies, capable of suggesting a collective presence and engaging the viewer not as an external observer, but as a possible part of a system in perpetual motion.”

Domenico de Chirico, curator, catalogue essay, 2026
