Iris van Dongen (1975-1975)
Suspicious IV
2008 | pastel, Conté crayon, chalk on paper | 100 × 65 cm
In this symbolic painting by Iris van Dongen, is the woman really plagued by her own demons?
The ghostly white serpent in this work has wound itself around the woman’s torso and slithered on top of her head. However, the woman herself – modern yet portrayed like a figure from mythology – has her fist clenched around the serpent’s body.
