Carnival Funk – 2002

Carnival Funk celebrates life, movement, and the power of music to unite people. This piece invites you to join the fun, feel the rhythm, and be swept away by the vibrant energy of the moment.

Carnival Funk is a vibrant painting that captures the lively spirit of dance and celebration, with funky, clown-like characters at the centre of the scene. These figures are full of energy, moving with a rhythm that feels almost electric. The whole painting is alive with the movement and joy that comes from dancing together in a shared celebration.

In Carnival Funk, music is more than just a background element—it’s a powerful presence that fills the entire canvas. The energy of the music flows through the characters, guiding their movements and bringing the scene to life. You can almost hear the beats and melodies as you look at the painting, feeling the pulse of the celebration.

The characters in this painting are playful and full of life, embodying the fun and freedom that comes with carnival festivities. Their vibrant colours and exaggerated features add to the sense of joy and excitement. They are not just dancing; they are expressing their happiness and celebrating the moment.

Through this painting, I wanted to capture the essence of carnival—the sense of community, the joy of dance, and the infectious energy of music. Carnival Funk is a celebration of life, movement, and the power of music to bring people together. It’s a piece that invites you to join in the fun, to feel the rhythm, and to let yourself be carried away by the energy of the moment.
