Sleeping With The TV On (Sweet Dreams) by Dave the Chimp
3-color screen print (black, off-white + glow) on GF Smith Colorplan Dark Grey 270g. 50 × 70 cm (19.7 × 27.6"). Signed numbered edition of 60 pcs.
Dave's work is about balance. Black & white, good & bad, right & wrong, yin & yang. You can't have one without the other.
Hidden under a cloak of incredible cuteness, Dave's creatures suffer from heartbreak, hatred, despair and hopelessness. The most colorful characters populate the darkest alleys. Where there is much light, there is much shadow - or, without shadow, there is no light.
Sleeping With The TV On (Sweet Dreams) is Dave's first print with rikiki , and a perfect example of this duality. A cozy scene that changes from one moment to the next when the lights go out.
"We live in a TV-slumber world, numbed to inertia by organized religion and fast food, and we should remember that for all our superiority, we are still animals, and death is always near. Awareness of death lets us live our lives in the here and now, in this moment. Death is not the enemy - it reminds us that we are alive. The enemy is sleep. Wake up!"
We can frame the print for you. If you would like a print framed, please contact us.
