Description (acrylic on canvas, 50x40 cm, 2013/2014)

Would you be surprised if the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland descend into the subway station at - let's say - University Square in Bucharest? Just like any other hurried passenger on his way to work, in a business suit, on a very usual morning. Or you'll be too (pre)occupied in catching the next train to your corporate job, where time is (just) money, to even care or dare to be amazed for 1 minute?

The painting's meanings deal with post-modern and post-industrial world, uniformization, loss of wonder and chronophagy.

Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. Beautiful. Very graphical and illustrative.

Well, I was obviously inspired by Lewis Carroll's story and character (The White Rabbit). Thanks!
