Self Portrait Frank Auerbach- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Self Portrait By Frank Auerbach

Self Portrait Frank Auerbach

2026

This 20 x 20 cm piece shows a man enjoying a self portrait by Frank Auerbach. His self portraits are a profound, raw exploration of identity, aging, and the physical passage of time through a rigorous 'poetics of destruction' and reconstruction. Auerbach builds his images through a fierce cycle of drawing, erasing, and redrawing. Rather than seeking a flattering likeness, identity is shown as dynamic and ever-evolving rather than static.

By placing an observer in front of this intense, heavily textured image, my painting introduces a space of quiet stillness amidst Auerbach's frantic energy. The focused presence of the viewer suggests that we can always find a moment of inner clarity and enduring peace within the chaos.

All the best, Gerard

The painting within my painting pays direct homage to Christopher Wool’s iconic text style, mimicking his signature typography and monochrome aesthetic. Wool used out-of-context phrases to disrupt how we read and look at art. Here, I use that same lettering to spotlight a distinct modern obsession: endlessly scrolling on the internet.

The artwork within my painting pays homage to the 1978 arcade game Space Invaders, where players control a laser cannon to destroy waves of descending alien creatures.

Street artist Invader’s goal was to 'free' these pixelated aliens from the digital confines of computer screens and place them into the physical, three-dimensional world. But now they're caught inside a museum.

In my work, I love to capture the quiet moments of people in museums, entirely lost in the act of looking. This painting captures a viewer lost in Mark Rothko's Red On Red.

Rothko painted on massive vertical canvases, these works were meant to engulf the viewer. Rothko preferred dim lighting and close viewing distances so the color fields would completely dominate the spectator's field of vision and trigger a transcendent, almost religious experience.

Pablo Picasso’s 1932 painting 'Femme Assise Près d’Une Fenêtre' depicts his young mistress and muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter. Picasso painted it during what art historians call his annus mirabilis or year of wonders. Marie-Thérèse inspired a flood of bright, curvilinear, and euphoric masterpieces.

Unlike earlier, more passive reclining nudes, Marie-Thérèse is portrayed upright, clothed, and statuesque. Her calm, commanding presence and luminous, marble-like head transform her into a modern-day goddess or idol ruling over the artist.

The window acts as a threshold between the private, intimate world of their secret love affair and the outside reality. It frames her as both an object of devotion and a figure in complete control of the space.

Within this work of art by Van der Leck, a bird is broken down into horizontal, vertical, and diagonal black lines, accompanied by floating planes of color. This represents a quest for the universal essence of the visible world—the ultimate reality, so to speak. By capturing a viewer observing this abstraction, I bring the visible world back into the composition, bringing the artistic cycle full circle.

The woman in this painting is enjoying a painting by Franz Kline from 1955. Crosstown derives its meaning not from depicting a literal street map, but from capturing the raw visual architecture, dynamic movement, and kinetic energy of an urban environment.

Kline famously stated that he did not paint specific physical objects or scenes, but rather the internal feelings and sensory reactions aroused in him by living and looking out at the city. By placing a viewer in front of his work I'm basically doing the same thing in return.

The man in my painting is enjoying a painting by Robert Mangold from 1985. His Five Color Frame explores the tension between the canvas as a flat fragment and its active relationship with the empty wall behind it, questioning how separate parts "fit or don't really fit together".

By introducing a human element into this minimalist piece, I wanted to bridge the artwork's rigid, hard-edged boundaries and that of the living world.

The man in this painting is enjoying Banksy’s Bomb Love (also known as Bomb Hugger). Originally conceived as a powerful critique of state-sponsored violence, the iconic street piece shows a young girl tenderly embracing a massive aerial missile as if it were a cherished teddy bear.

The subject engages with the visual contrast between childhood innocence and mechanized destruction. Ultimately, the artwork's message is that universal compassion and love hold the power to disarm hostility.

If you look closely on the second picture you see my painting Hope hanging right next to it in Galerie Coste in Deauville, France, 2018. On the right you see a glimpse of a soup can by Andy Warhol. Not bad company!

Standing in front of Roy Lichtenstein’s 'Whaam!', you are hit with a massive, loud wave of comic-book energy. I love the sharp contrast between that explosive background and the quiet presence of a real person just taking it all in.

Ultimately, to me the painting is about the idea of staying completely calm while the world around you explodes.
