Jeremy Jaspers celebrates the absurd in “Oranges”, a portrait of a boy on Christmas 🍊🎄 The lively colors, bedecked Christmas tree, and piled presents seem the picture of holiday bliss. The boy’s forlorn expression and teary eyes, however, suggest something else at play. Carefully placed props—walnuts, Santa figurines, a prominent peeled orange—point to the artist’s agency in constructing this uncertain scene. Who is the boy staring at? Why are his hands raised? What caused tears to fill his eyes? The artist raises questions that can’t be answered, allowing the power of uncertainty to work harder than any clearly delineated narrative. With a humorous spirit, @jeremy_jaspers highlights a moment of disappointment in the midst of a bright, colorful scene of joy and celebration ⭐️🎁
