''Billiards and cigarette''


oil on two canvases - 60 x 85 cm 

This painting depicts the human society as it is constructed today, resembling it with a billiards game. The game is on, but there are some rules, as always. There is only one ball, the earth, and two holes. The first one is a typical billiards corner hole. The other one is a gap on the front side which will transfer the game outside the conventional table. There is a time limit as the cue has been transformed into a cigarette. People are watching in the background.

The initial inspiration of the painting was by the homonymous novel ''Billiards and a cigarette route'' of the independant writer I.K.V.
