About the painting
Some pictures call up a mood rather than a subject: the moment you reach the water in the morning and cannot yet tell where the mist ends. Green and rose hang from the top here, and beneath them lies a dark streak with a trace of yellow, as if someone had left a light on. Silence and space are the themes Imed Ben Tahar names for his work. In front of this picture you feel both at once.
Description
Green and rose hang from the top like curtains, and below them lies a dark streak with a trace of yellow along its edge. It looks like a shoreline in morning haze, yet it will not stay put. The 100 × 100 cm square gives the picture a calm presence, for instance above a sofa or a chest of drawers.
In the room
The painting hangs here at its real size, next to a 210 cm sofa and a person who is 175 cm tall.
