PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND

Year: 2016
Size: 120 x 60 cm / 47.2 x 23.6 in
Materials: Acrylic, marker, crayons on wood

“PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND” is a playful and satirical work featuring an ostrich. Its head disappears deep into the sand but reappears at the top of the painting—as if traveling through the earth—where it looks surprised at its own behind. This visual loop highlights how looking away from reality can lead to endless self-confrontation. Around the image appears the text: PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND AND YOU’LL KEEP LOOKING AT YOUR OWN ARSE, a sharp message about self-deception, ostrich politics, and the humorous absurdity of our own blind spots.

„PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND“ ist ein verspieltes und satirisches Werk, in dem ein Strauß im Mittelpunkt steht. Sein Kopf verschwindet tief im Sand, taucht jedoch oben im Gemälde wieder auf—als würde er durch die Erde reisen—wo er überrascht auf sein eigenes Hinterteil blickt. Diese visuelle Schleife verdeutlicht, wie das Wegschauen von der Realität zu endloser Selbstkonfrontation führen kann. Rund um das Bild steht der Text: PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND AND YOU’LL KEEP LOOKING AT YOUR OWN ARSE, eine pointierte Botschaft über Selbsttäuschung, Vogel-Strauß-Politik und die humorvolle Absurdität unserer blinden Flecken.

“PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND” is een speels en satirisch werk waarin een struisvogel centraal staat. Zijn kop verdwijnt diep in het zand, maar verschijnt bovenaan het schilderij opnieuw—alsof hij door de aarde heen reist—waar hij verbaasd naar zijn eigen achterste kijkt. Deze visuele lus benadrukt hoe wegkijken van de werkelijkheid kan leiden tot eindeloze zelfconfrontatie. Rondom het beeld staat de tekst: PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND AND YOU’LL KEEP LOOKING AT YOUR OWN ARSE, een scherpe boodschap over zelfbedrog, struisvogelpolitiek en de humoristische absurditeit van onze eigen blinde vlekken.

« PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND » est une œuvre ludique et satirique mettant en scène une autruche. Sa tête disparaît profondément dans le sable, mais réapparaît en haut du tableau—comme si elle traversait la terre—où elle regarde, étonnée, son propre derrière. Cette boucle visuelle souligne comment détourner le regard de la réalité peut mener à une auto-confrontation sans fin. Autour de l’image figure le texte : PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND AND YOU’LL KEEP LOOKING AT YOUR OWN ARSE, un message incisif sur l’auto-illusion, la politique de l’autruche et l’absurdité humoristique de nos angles morts.

“PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND” es una obra lúdica y satírica en la que una avestruz es la protagonista. Su cabeza desaparece profundamente en la arena, pero reaparece en la parte superior de la pintura—como si viajara a través de la tierra—donde mira sorprendida su propio trasero. Este bucle visual destaca cómo apartar la vista de la realidad puede llevar a una autoconfrontación interminable. Alrededor de la imagen aparece el texto: PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND AND YOU’LL KEEP LOOKING AT YOUR OWN ARSE, un mensaje contundente sobre el autoengaño, la política del avestruz y la absurda comicidad de nuestros puntos ciegos.

“PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND” è un’opera giocosa e satirica che ha come protagonista uno struzzo. La sua testa scompare profondamente nella sabbia, ma riappare nella parte superiore del dipinto—come se viaggiasse attraverso la terra—dove guarda sorpreso il proprio didietro. Questo loop visivo evidenzia come distogliere lo sguardo dalla realtà possa portare a un’autoconfrontazione infinita. Attorno all’immagine compare il testo: PUT YOUR HEAD INTO THE GROUND AND YOU’LL KEEP LOOKING AT YOUR OWN ARSE, un messaggio pungente sull’autoinganno, la politica dello struzzo e l’assurdità umoristica dei nostri punti ciechi.
