क्रायबैबी किंग और ज़ेबरा इन द फॉरेस्ट (तानाशाह के आँसू)

This painting is based on the theme of the loneliness, sadness, and tragedy of those who hold (or have held) great power. The image is an oil painting of a book-shaped painting I created in 2020 called The Book of Drops: Empty Bucket Blues. What on earth is this person crying and holding a bucket in both hands thinking, and what has he done? I hope that each viewer will project their own "story" into the work.

The image, originally painted with water-soluble paints on washi paper, was then repainted on a wooden panel with oil paints. Holbein's high-quality oil paint "Vernet" was used for the paint, which gave the piece a glossy transparency that is unique to oil painting. The overlapping "layers" with the texture unique to oil paints seem to add even more depth to the story of the sad king.
