Starry Night

A reinterpretation of Van Gogh's The Starry Night painted on the glass porthole of a washing-machine door, kept in its original rounded brushed-steel frame. Behind the glass, a backlighting system passes through the painted layer and lights the blue impasto and the yellow haloed stars from within. Van Ugly series, 2018.
