PAINTING - NOISE XIX

Acrylic on canvas

60 x 60 cm

2013

Acrylic painting on canvas painted in Szczecinek, a small historical city in Middle Pomerania, northwestern Poland.

A shorthand to represent the city structures and its inner turbulent history. Inspired by Szczecinek’s resident German physician Friedrich Jacob Behrend whose published works among other topics treat about public hygiene.
