Ich mag die Arbeiten der in Venezuela geborenen Malerin Roxa Smith die u.a. auch in Freiburg Malerei studiert hat. Insbesondere ihre Roboter haben es mir angetan.

Sie selbst sagt dazu:

“Robots, toys and dolls” are souvenirs of a simpler time in our lives and this series of paintings serves as a window through which we reminisce. The images often recall toys of the 1950s and 60s, an era when the onset of the Space Race and the rise of technology mesmerized Americans with possibilities as infinite as the galaxy we endeavored to conquer. Colorful recollections of childhood and of history, while painted in our memory as happy and playful, mask emotions of fear and uncertainty that inevitably accompany the loss of innocence.”

Yepp!
