Oil on panel: 61 x 76.2 cm. Christian Rex van Minnen (2017): “I never want to be provocative just for provocation's sake. I'm really cautious about being too ironic, or even flippant. I think it has to come from a place that's sincere, otherwise it comes off the wrong way; so what you say is true. The power of the technique itself is that you can kind of put anything behind it and it'll look good. In history, that's been a very manipulating force. You have to be careful. What is the message behind it? And if it's devoid of message, then it's just manipulation”.
