Contribution from serbia
“ Metaphorical representation of the continent of Europe. A very old and tired whore-like lady wrapped in colors of flags of ALL the countries of the European continent.
The work merges Lucien Freud’s painting “Benefits Supervisor Sleeping“ and Rem Koolhaas’ proposal of the EU visual identity (“bar code” flag). ”
