This large oil painting with references to abstract expressionism and strong figurative elements is inspired by a famous limerick: „There was a young lady of Niger Who smiled as she rode on a tiger They returned from the ride With the lady inside And the smile on the face of the tiger" In a certain sense the limerick is highly actual: are we all riding on a tiger? By ignoring the continuing climate-change catastrophes, could Mankind eventually also be devoured?
Volker Mayr, well-known German visual artist about his work: "What composers do with music, poets with words, I wish with my paintings: inspire people and create emotions. I want to trigger impulses that make the soul of the viewer vibrate.“ Since 1985, non-figurative works predominate with references to abstract expressionism. Getting older, he re-discovered the fascination of figurative painting and from time to time he loves to add works in the impressionistic style to his abstract art. Volkers pictures arise from all the senses and emotions: they are sensual, un-premeditated and with a playful love for enigmatic details. Multiple and vibrant relationships between colors and surface textures are being created by layers that form transparent views, bold and expressive, emotional and spontaneous. This collection shows unique items of art & Limited Editions of 12 & very affordable Limited items with 999 pieces.
