Chanel 5

This work is an display of the main five men that shaped and influenced my love life. The positioning of the heads in relationship with me is most relevant - a hint for the kind of relationship I have today with them. The presentation of the characters in a tilted fan form is intentional, underlining the idea of an exhibition - as holding playing cards in your hand. I am the second character from the left, with a neckless with cherries and curly colorful hair. The Pharaoh (the first character from the left) is placed back to back towards me, a sign of no eye contact and no dialog. The Revolutioner with its dots is so close to me, that I can almost feel his breath - a reason to smile and recollect cherished memories. The Entertainer with a black and white face and a colorful clown-like costume takes the most space in the painting, suggesting his role and importance. The Quiet One with his head full of cherries from our Pasha Club escapade has his eyes shut as being fully focused and absorbed by himself. The Sentimental (the first character on the right) stands almost hidden, with tears in his eyes and his underwater tentacle arms, as always, overwhelmed with emotions. Play your cards wisely!
