Self Portrait with a Pet and a Bathtub | Daniel Lipstein at The Olivier Cornet Gallery

Event Details

Self, pet and a bathtub is a triangle of elements arranged as a composition in this oil on linen painting whose title is also the title of the whole show. 

The bathtub is from my locality at the fields around my studio in county Donegal where farmers arrange bathtubs arbitrarily in the landscape for their cows and bulls to drink from. Once an intimate function in a household now these are curious shapes in open spaces resembling alienation and corrosion on their way back to the elements of metal and earth.
