The Cult Of Sebastiaan


I wanted to save you but I couldn´t 2005

Throughout 2005 I continued to work on large-scale drawings populated by delusional characters that don't know where they are in the world. I believe not being able to understand where one is in life or the world is a common experience. This is what interests me: common occurrences of confusion, delusion: the everyday experience of being at a loss. It is recognisable to such an extent one has to make fun of it, though a sinister undertone is inevitable: laughing at someone who is delusional and doesn't realise it, is one thing; asking yourself if you are delusional and not being able to answer with certainty is another.
