It's a painting of a man whom I met in Sporting some five years ago.
I made a picture of him and his son. I will make the one of his son when I return to Beirut. It's a teenager coverers with a towel on his head.
The text is from a political analyst (I won't tell you who).
I use this image also to think about "Macho" issues, and religion: how in Beirut, people always need a "god", atheists around me as well in the art world I feel they need "a hero" a shepherd to follow.
So most either play the role of the sheep or a few the shepherd that the rest should follow.
The feet of the man has turned into a frog, as a hint to the crucified frog of Martin Kippenberger. Do you know it?
The crucified frog, and people who have replaced god by anything else.
