Oil painting: Bankruptcy - Rug: Skin Wasteland 28

Oil painting, not hanging on a wall, but placed in front of a valuable rug - that is an exciting bringing together of two works of art.
New harmonies arise.

In a special exhibition in Augsburg in autumn 2015 under the title "linked", paintings by Wolfgang Lettl were combined with rugs by Jürgen Dahlmanns (RUG STAR).

The spirit of this „connection“ is on one hand the harmoniousness in terms of color and shape, on the other hand the bringing together of two apparently unrelated worlds.

You will notice a correlation between the “open can” on the left of the rug with the black heaven-like body of the painting in terms of shape and color.

The face of an infant on the top right corner contrast with the non-visible head of the person in the painting.

In the painting “Bankruptcy” a well-dressed man makes himself scarce, obviously having made his profits. What remains is scrap and waste seemingly in another world, in the background formed by the rug.
