Artist's Comments

"21st Century Dream" (1996), acrylics on illustration board, 60 x 60 cm / 23,4 x 23,4 in.

the tree trunk on the right was not in my original composition idea. I had made a mistake when I painted the clock and some black colour got on that area. I was crying and cursing like hell… Then I just painted the tree trunk over it… and today I think that it looks much better with it there…

21st Century Dream by ~RainerKalwitz is a kind of fever dream in muted color. It is a dynamic work, holidng some of the free-association style of artists like Hugh Syme, but not in terms of technique as much as in ambience. (Suggested by ~sunofsamsa and Featured by `zeruch)

it doesn't look too out of place to me, where did you come up with the idea for flying dice?

Did I say that?
:iconrainerkalwitz:
The image was originally meant to be an album cover for a progressive rockband from the netherlands... the record label engaged me to re paint the artwork, which was originally drawn by the band, but in a Kindergarten style...
originally they had the boy on the swing with a dice as a head... but I thought that this would look totally stupid... so I painted the dices in the sky, to give it an even more surreal feeling...

the band split up and the CD was never released

you crazyyyyyyyyyyyy....this is so beautiful....with or without the tree...its damn beautiful :D
