Flying van Gogh No. 57\/100
The work is an electric guitar that forms part of a series of 100 pieces, each painted in the style of a famous artist from art history, in this case Van Gogh.<\/p>\n\n
The combination of the painting of an acclaimed artist and an object that is not only typical of rock culture, such as the electric guitar, but also has a body shape typical of heavy metal bands, humorously accentuates the contrast between the traditional concepts of high and low culture, that is, between academic culture and popular culture.<\/p>\n\n
Combas’s goal is to create figurative art in which irreverence and humor are combined through themes from contemporary popular culture. He is one of the leading exponents of a movement called Figuraci\u00f3n Libre (Free Figuration), which in the 1980s called for all kinds of artistic freedom without obligations to fashions, trends, or movements. <\/p>\n\n
His colors are vivid, his compositions saturated with images in which the apparent chaos often overwhelms the viewer’s gaze.
