Gé-Karel van der Sterren (1969)
Jolly Jumper
2007 | acrylic and oil paint on panel | 120 × 100 cm
The woman flying through this menacing purple sky has one arm stretched out in front of her like Superman.
Another reference to comics is the title of this work: Jolly Jumper is Lucky Luke's horse in the eponymous best-selling European comics series. The branches in the foreground reach out like evil arms. This duality is typical of Van der Sterren's work.
