During a recent research, I discovered Mark Twain’s (1805-1910) book “The War Prayer”. The book was initially forbidden. The story had similarities with the church attack in Charleston. Mark Twain wrote “The War Prayer” in response to the Spanish-American War and the subsequent Philippine-

I made this work as a study before I started the larger collage work of adhesive film on drawing polyester on a light box. That eventually became The Parable of the Soils 3, 2020, h 101.6 cm x w 152.4 cm (h 40 in x w 60 in).

Manual collage and drawing on paper no. 14242023, 2018, h 11.8 x w 11.7 inch,
felt pen, fineliner, pencil, adhesive tape, paper on paper
Working on a collage on light box series of five, I made this manual collage on paper as the third in the series. The collages of adhesive film on drawing polyester on light box series, entitled “Vernissage”, were included in a group exhibition of Fontana Gallery in Amsterdam at the KunstRai/Art Amsterdam art fair in the Netherlands. I have never shown these paper collages before. For this series of work, I was inspired by a poignant contemporary event: a violent disruption of the opening of an exhibition in an art gallery. My fascination is the unpredictable and sudden intense occurrence that falls outside the regular scenarios. I always disapprove of negative behavior and support good energy. The media images I use are a reflection of the times in which we live now.
