Fake

Oil on canvas, 2023, 100 x 190 cm

A painting based on an old press photo of a couple that used to run a foster home in Hjalteyri, North of Iceland. A home that has been in the news recently because its operation has been highly criticized. The image of the home and its declared kindness turned out to be a fabrication or fake.
