Artwork description
In this surrealist-esque painting, a thick black pipe is depicted as if made of a malleable material such as silicone cuts bends in the shape of a rainbow. The background of blue skies and idyllic clouds, with a sand foreground and a tuft of bright green grass, provides a subtle backdrop for the jet black pipe.
Fortune Hunter
Born in Germany and raised in Bolivia, Fortune Hunter is a self-taught artist with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. Exhibiting works in southern and central Germany, his work is currently focused on the human condition in relation to pop culture and the natural world through the lens of the subconscious. Describing his method of production, the artist often makes a reference drawing before creating the final painting. During the process, he may use cutouts to create certain patterns and then create an underpainting using acrylic paint. On top of this, he adds oil paint to create the finished color and texture. Inspired by everyday items that appeal to the human subconscious on a deeper level, Fortune Hunter’s works have, as described by the artist, a funny, surreal, and hidden quality that makes them unique.
