20th Painting - Better Late Than Never

"BETTER LATE THAN NEVER"


Keheranan dan keluguannya sebagai anak yang mulai beranjak dewasa tergoreskan di kanvas kecil ini. Keheranan akan mengapa seorang anak kecil harus memunguti sampah seusai sekolah membuatnya berupaya mengabadikannya dalam lukisan ini. Kontradiksi mendominasi lukisan ini. Kontradiksi antara warna gelap akan sampah sebagai latar belakang dengan warna biru langit yang begitu cerah. Kontradiksi akan keinginan sekolah yang digambarkan dalam buku-buku pelajaran dengan sampah yang digendong sang pemulung.
