Two Sunflowers on a Red Background

1990 | acrylic on canvas | 48 × 149 cm

Erik Andriesse aims to create an exciting visual experience in his work, which he does by placing his subjects in difficult positions.

The two sunflowers in this painting seem almost human: it’s as if the leaves on their long stems are gesturing to each other to emphasise what they’re saying. Things are getting serious here, with all that blood red paint spattered and dripping down behind them.
