Homoid

Within layers of stitches, we’ve hide a demon into this mesmerising work.

Multi-layered embroidery that enhances layering of the motifs. Gentle colour transitions of threads in blurred underlayer with a boy image are placed in a strong contrast to the emphasized colours and strict sketching of this mesmerising embroidered painting.

About motif
Uroš Weinberger, took the image that was used as the origin point of his artwork, from the internet — it was a boy with a gun in his hand, an image from a toy box. Then he composed his artwork on two basic layers. The first, in the background, depicts a boy, without a weapon. The second, dominant layer is then superimposed, with a sketch image of the Homoid. This human-like being is a symbolic entity, representing a demon, a modern mechanised state employee — a soldier.
