F1 FYAL

Original painting, by Kristian von Hornsleth, 2021, 95 x 95 cm, acrylic and digital print on Belgian canvas.

The title 'FYAL' stands for 'Fuck You Art Lovers', and is a reverse psychological statement that describes the feeling of being trapped in prejudice and a reference to the fact that we are all 'fucked' when we buy art.

We don't always have our own opinions about art.

We are all brainwashed by our media, parents, teachers and public opinion to have certain opinions about what is 'good' art!

Ultimately, the big question is: Does the pure and unprejudiced experience of art exist?

Are you a free person?

The Formula 1 car is a typical motif in Hornsleth's visual art, which deals with the duality of man's striving for the highest and best, which in this case is the utmost in motorsport, but which few actually achieve.

Maybe it is our very pursuit of the unattainable beautiful and right that gives life meaning, what do you think?
