Oil painting: The Tube - Rug: No Honey RedMix

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 2015 under the title "linked", paintings by Wolfgang Lettl were combined with rugs by Jürgen Dahlmanns (RUG STAR).
The surreal painting illustrates people going into a tube to find protection and security from the elements.

The rug in the background picks up the colorfulness of the picture and underlines the metamorphosis into the animalistic.

You need a closer view to recognize that the people leaving the tube are transformed into beetles by the force of this tube.

It is the job of the viewer to think about the symbolic meaning of a tube or tunnel.
