AN OATH SEALED WITH BUTTER IS AN OATH THAT IS SOON FORGOTTEN, 2011, Oil on paper 45x35 cm each. The starting point of this project is a stock of forgotten wrapping papers used for Italian butter, which was distributed in a cooperative way after the war. This work is inspired by a research of proverbs on butter in the Netherlands that has an important tradition in producing butter. I have realized a series of ‘fake’ posters, painted, inspired by Dutch exemplars that once were used to represent a class or ideological group. It has become a series of ironic bricolages that combine ideals, cultures and time periods, becoming decontextualised interpretations. |
