Traffic Jam

Traffic Jam

'Traffic Jam', 2010, Oil on Panel, 43.8 x 34.9cm

Traffic Jam (5)

Traffic Jam is part of the 'Illuminations' series, displayed in Berlin, Los Angeles, and New York as well as at the Institute of Crazyology in 2013. The painting was displayed as a glowing lightpanel suspended in a dark room.

For years, Traffic Jam was my default Christmas Card for social media. I've always thought the colors and the obese figure in the sleigh were rather full of yuletide cheer, don't you think so?

Other paintings in the Illuminations series include:

  • The Lord of Misrule
  • Cognitive Libertines
  • The Pool
  • The Human Tree
  • No Parking Zone
  • Chemical Imbalance
  • Gallows Humor
  • Burlesque
