THE HANNIBAL

These series of works challenges the conventional preconceptions of the past and the recreation of it.
While movies are always a good way of achieving this, the posters are the tool normally used to
introduce the story they tell to the public. The posters with their bright colours, depicting the hero or the
heroine of the movie, in glamorous poses with big letters across them, have not changed much since
their early days. The only big difference is the technique in which they were created; in a way they have
been a constant presence throughout the changing times.
The painting in itself can be intimidating to a broad audience-the very samer audience that that admires
these film posters designed to recreate history although they are, or can be in a different ‘league’ or
‘wavelength’. By doing paintings to look like posters I want to make them more accessible to the public,
so the public familiarize with them and the story behind it.
