Elmer de Gruijl (1976-1976)

Whether poking fun at or empathising with them, Elmer de Gruijl loves painting people who feel lost in the masses.
In this painting, De Gruijl draws a contrast between the sagging faces of the couple on the sofa and the smiles in the wedding picture on the wall. The IKEA poster behind them symbolises the lack of personal touches in the grey interior.
