Pierrot (Theatre Scene)
Pierrot (Theatre Scene) (2020), is an oil on canvas painting, measuring 170 x 170 cm , painted by the Artist (Keane) , in expressing the comedic nature of Pierrot, who had its symbolism found in politics, culture and society. It borrows on the history of the Commedia dell'arte, the troupe which travelled across the European region, touring across, entertaining guests which were enthralled by the spectacle . Pierrot is a symbol for naitevity, which can be linked to characters of innocence and playfulness. Somewhat child-like.
A Pop inspired piece, it decorates itself with multiple sweet treats and draws towards topics of Capitalistic Excessivism . (The artwork is signed and dated )
