Lars van Roosendaal / Petrified I the failure of promises andYear: 2017 Medium: Acrylic on canvas, mounted on stretcher frame 50 70 cm A golden, faceless young man stands tied and almost naked on a precarious path winding through a toxic, abyss ridden hellscape. The body is naked except for underwear; the chains on his neck, hands, and feet anchor a visually translated shame into the rocky ground. The composition addresses a field of tension between desire and threat, inner doubt and external condemnation.
