This series explores the moment when a warning turns into a confrontation. The red flag, a symbol of danger and challenge, takes center stage. At the side, the body of a bull appears, partially visible, while its head breaks through the flag and tears the canvas. What first seemed abstract suddenly becomes concrete. The text PLAYING WITH THE RED FLAG. SAY HELLO TO THE BULL balances between humor and seriousness: whoever waves a red flag summons a bull. The bull is both powerful and unexpectedly present, almost ironic. Together, the four works create a stop-motion effect, with the bull’s tail moving, among other things.#art #contemporaryart #redFlag #bull #conceptual

Diese Serie untersucht den Moment, in dem eine Warnung in eine Konfrontation übergeht. Die rote Flagge, ein Symbol für Gefahr und Herausforderung, steht im Mittelpunkt. An der Seite erscheint der Körper eines Stiers, teilweise sichtbar, während sein Kopf durch die Flagge bricht und die Leinwand zerreißt. Was zunächst abstrakt schien, wird plötzlich konkret. Der Text PLAYING WITH THE RED FLAG. SAY HELLO TO THE BULL balanciert zwischen Humor und Ernst: Wer mit einer roten Flagge wedelt, ruft einen Stier herbei. Der Stier ist sowohl kraftvoll als auch unerwartet präsent, fast ironisch. Zusammen erzeugen die vier Werke einen Stop-Motion-Effekt, wobei sich unter anderem der Schwanz des Stiers bewegt.

Deze serie onderzoekt het moment waarop een waarschuwing verandert in een confrontatie. De rode vlag, symbool van gevaar en uitdaging, staat centraal. Aan de zijkant verschijnt het lichaam van een stier, deels zichtbaar, terwijl zijn kop door de vlag heen breekt en het doek scheurt. Wat eerst abstract leek, wordt ineens concreet. De tekst PLAYING WITH THE RED FLAG. SAY HELLO TO THE BULL balanceert tussen humor en ernst: wie met een rode vlag zwaait, roept een stier op. De stier is zowel krachtig als onverwacht aanwezig, bijna ironisch. Gecombineerd vormen de vier werken een stop-motion effect, waarbij o.a. de staart van de stier beweegt.

Cette série explore le moment où un avertissement se transforme en confrontation. Le drapeau rouge, symbole de danger et de défi, est au centre. Sur le côté apparaît le corps d’un taureau, partiellement visible, tandis que sa tête perce le drapeau et déchire la toile. Ce qui semblait d’abord abstrait devient soudain concret. Le texte PLAYING WITH THE RED FLAG. SAY HELLO TO THE BULL oscille entre humour et sérieux : celui qui agite un drapeau rouge appelle un taureau. Le taureau est à la fois puissant et présent de manière inattendue, presque ironique. Ensemble, les quatre œuvres créent un effet stop-motion, avec notamment le mouvement de la queue du taureau.

Esta serie explora el momento en que una advertencia se convierte en confrontación. La bandera roja, símbolo de peligro y desafío, ocupa el centro. En el lateral aparece el cuerpo de un toro, parcialmente visible, mientras su cabeza atraviesa la bandera y rasga el lienzo. Lo que parecía abstracto se vuelve de repente concreto. El texto PLAYING WITH THE RED FLAG. SAY HELLO TO THE BULL equilibra el humor con la seriedad: quien agita una bandera roja convoca a un toro. El toro es a la vez poderoso y sorprendentemente presente, casi irónico. Juntas, las cuatro obras crean un efecto stop-motion, moviéndose, entre otras cosas, la cola del toro.

Questa serie esplora il momento in cui un avvertimento si trasforma in una confrontazione. La bandiera rossa, simbolo di pericolo e sfida, è al centro. Sul lato appare il corpo di un toro, parzialmente visibile, mentre la sua testa attraversa la bandiera strappando la tela. Ciò che sembrava astratto diventa improvvisamente concreto. Il testo PLAYING WITH THE RED FLAG. SAY HELLO TO THE BULL oscilla tra umorismo e serietà: chi agita una bandiera rossa chiama un toro. Il toro è sia potente che inaspettatamente presente, quasi ironico. Insieme, le quattro opere creano un effetto stop-motion, con il movimento della coda del toro tra le altre cose.
