Don't Ever Wrestle With A Pig Study Original Art by Andreas Claussen
Mixed Media Painting
Framed 44cm x 44cm
From Claussen's whimsical "FLOOD" series, this study painting captures a playful moment as an astronaut floats alongside a pink inflatable pig pool float. Set against deep azure waters, the red-suited figure and their porcine companion create an amusing commentary on adaptation and survival.
Claussen's masterful technique is evident in the thick, expressive brushstrokes that create texture in both the spacesuit and the inflatable toy. His careful attention to the interplay of light on water and the contrast between the serious astronaut and playful float creates a piece that perfectly balances environmental concerns with humor.
