Well, if you are familiar with engines, you can easily recognize this part. For others, who is not – this is a crankshaft, heart of scooter engine. But here, taken out, it is just like a fish out of water: cold, powerless and useless. Massive metal tools (hummer and wrench) were placed here just to stress these feelings. I have mechanical experience, and, trust me - it is impossible to fix an engine with hummer, but definitely possible to destroy…

  1. This painting has a strong character. Very interesting combination cold grey,blue, violet and warm "rust" spots.

    I really love your tools! You are definitely a handyman, not only painter, aren't you?
    Cheers,
