The Last Threshold
Private collection
This painting has joined a private collection. A scene in the same spirit can be painted on commission.
“EXIT, says the red sign above the half-open door. On either side, behind the glass walls, the city: its thousands of lit windows, its thousands of lives we will never live. I wanted to paint the moment when you think you have found the way out, and realise you have only changed levels. This man stands with his hands behind his back, on the edge of a choice, in the light and yet surrounded by night. He hesitates, and it is not for me to decide for him. The threshold, in any case, is never the one you imagine.”
