A characteristic canvas by the Dutch artist Rik van Iersel. The work is part of his 'Stretcher' series and was created in 1994; one of the first works from this then new series. Similar work is depicted in the Good morning world catalog. The work is in good condition and is ready to hang.
About this series: 'With Good morning world' Rik tackles an age-old theme. He asks questions about suffering. In this question his love for people and the world comes together with the feeling of powerlessness at the sight of horrors and images of a death surrounded by pain. (…) He always paints the same figure, an anonymous figure on a stretcher, which slowly evolves into a dark silhouette. The figures are fragile and vulnerable and have suffering in common.'
