Farila, Sweden.
Tymon de Laat. 2019

This second piece was made during our visit and Hit & Run exhibition Norrastation street art gallery for the church of Farila.
The project is called “see the human” and we (good friend Nuno Viegas and myself) were asked to make a free interpretation of a self portrait. I decided to paint my wife. Thank you Maria and Julia and the Norra Station crew for the unforgettable week in Ljusdal and superb care.

De Laat started painting murals and canvases, often based on his own photographs of the people he met during his travels. He exaggerates the natural lines in their faces, and fills the spaces that appear between those swirling lines with swaths of vivid color. The linework and color palette he applies in that way, are a means of translating his memories of Latin America to visual imagery. The food, the architecture, the clothes, and particularly his respect for the culture of indigenous peoples; it’s all in there, as de Laat transitions it over to enliven drab Western concrete.
