des hasen tod (part of a diptychon with Bernard Bieling) 2019

"des hasen tod" (The Death of the Rabbit) is a 2019 painting by Malte Sonnenfeld, part of a diptych with a piece by Bernard Bieling. The painting is a contemporary interpretation of the iconic "Frankenstein" movie, depicting the main character, Dr. Frankenstein, as a character in a rabbit mask. The artwork utilizes a layered technique, featuring stencil work, mixed media, and a strong black and white contrast, creating a dark and somewhat unsettling atmosphere. This piece explores themes of identity, monstrosity, and the blurred lines between science and morality.
