Explore Zen Dageraad's vivid depiction of a contrasting world: from a desolate figure to soaring birds, encapsulating life's balance. Dive deep into its narrative.

Don't Worry Be Happy

Amidst a vibrant landscape, a solitary yellow figure with a somber red mouth and whimsical purple hair sits dejectedly. Its arms tucked behind its head in a pose of melancholy, this "poor yellow fellow" contrasts sharply with the uplifting message: "the song is right, great advice & very wise." Seated on an unstable red bench—one leg dangling in the air—it rests on a rich purple ground casting an ominous shadow. From this earth sprouts a vivacious orange flower, its petals painted a shade darker, signifying hope. Above, the light blue waters ripple, as three radiant orange birds fly freely. The scene transitions to blue-green terrain, where a lively orange figure strides confidently. This transitions into lush green grounds dotted with bushes, overshadowed by towering dark green trees. High above, a unique tree flourishes, its light green leaves adorned with yellow, purple, and red dots, all under a deep blue sky. Zen Dageraad's masterpiece prompts reflection on life's highs and lows.

Zen Dageraad's art captures the legacy of Mark Rothko, exploring the bond between artist & artwork. Poignant commentary on appreciation & context.

Love, Don't Kill The Artist

Capturing the essence of the relationship between the artist and their art, Zen Dageraad presents a poignant commentary on the legacy of artists. The piece juxtaposes a portrait of Mark Rothko, framed within a heart, with one of his iconic artworks, "Untitled (Blue Divided by Blue)," side by side on a wall. The vivid setting is painted in varying shades of red; from the lightest hue on the floor to the darker shades on the surrounding walls. A striking purple bench sits on the ground, casting a deep red shadow, flanked by a green door and window.

Inspired by a personal conversation about Picasso's sketches and how context influences art appreciation, the piece delves into the paradoxical nature of artists' lives and legacies. Rothko's intent to "kill the artist" culminated tragically in his own death. Yet, the art remains, and in part because of his tragic end, it is now extremely popular.
