Too Prepared Original Art by Andreas Claussen
Mixed Media Painting
Framed 98cm x 128cm
From Claussen's whimsical "FLOOD" series, this painting captures a moment of playful irony through his distinctive post-apocalyptic style. The astronaut, prepared for the worst with their high-tech spacesuit, finds themselves perched on inflatable pool floats - a yellow duck and blue narwhal - creating a delightful contrast between serious survival gear and lighthearted summer fun.
Claussen's masterful technique is evident in the reflective qualities of the water and the textural details of the spacesuit's red gloves. His careful attention to the floats' plastic sheen and the moody grey atmosphere creates a piece that perfectly balances environmental commentary with humor.
