On Tap (2022) Original Oil Painting by Vanessa T Stefanova

This year I'm more against consumerism than usual, my new years resolution is to save as many items from council cleanup as bags of rubbish I throw out. Since then I've realised that most of my trash is actually re-usable in some form (compost, local scrap metal, recycling centre). Which then translated to preferring second hand items and watching how people shop as a hobby.

I painted the taps to represent the unlimited amount of items someone can buy and decided to create the first tap a human statue tap but painted the man upset and bombarded by the other taps. The buyer is the product.

This artwork is a hand-stretched one and hooks will be attached on sale. Certificate of authenticity will be specially printed soon, you'll receive a temporary one until then.
