The Stardust

Oil on canvas

120 x 150 cm | 47 x 59 in

Curator

Luke Chapman

What we encounter here is a powerful meditation on vulnerability and protection. The artist has transformed a social media moment into something transcendent, elevating a contemporary narrative into a realm of myth and metaphor. The technical execution is particularly noteworthy in the handling of light - from the celestial sparkle of stars to the urban glow below. But it's the relationship between the boy and his ethereal guardian that gives this work its emotional resonance. The piece speaks to themes of social visibility and invisible support systems, while maintaining a dignified and deeply human center. This is social commentary at its most nuanced and affecting.

About
this Artwork

News of the disorder boy in social media: A striking oil painting depicting a boy using mobility aids, set against a nocturnal cityscape. Above him, a large ethereal white form - part bird, part protective spirit - extends across the starlit sky. The city below sparkles with countless points of light, creating a tapestry of urban life. The composition balances dark and light elements, with the boy and the spectral form rendered in luminous whites and pale tones against the deep night sky.
