Johan De Wit's creations often refer to classics from art history ranging from Antiquity to the present. The works evoke traditional themes such as landscapes, still lifes and genre pieces. In addition, they also play on conventional philosophical-religious themes: the insignificance and fragility of human existence, the transience, futility and ridiculousness of power and ostentation, the pleasure and transience of earthly pleasures.
