First Level of Internationality 2016

"First Level of Internationality" (2016) by Erik Sigerud is a painting that depicts a scene of people in an interior space. The painting features a large window with a view of a sunset and a boat, and a framed painting on the wall showing a chaotic, dramatic scene. The interior scene features several people seated around a table, with a red, blue, and yellow abstract shape floating in the air above them. The painting reflects on the complexities of human relationships and the nature of communication. The combination of realistic figures and abstract elements suggests a blend of the tangible and the intangible, inviting the viewer to consider the connections between individuals and their surroundings.
