Originalkov Sergey, painted in 2023.
Sergey Merenkov’s painting “We just live and chew bread” is not just a genre scene from village life, but a multi-layered ironic reflection on simple joys, routine, the meaning of life, and perhaps the illusory nature of happiness in everyday life. The artist creates a grotesque and memorable image that simultaneously evokes a smile and makes one think about complex philosophical questions.
The canvas depicts a woman standing in the yard and scattering bread to the chickens. Her face expresses simultaneously calmness, detachment, and perhaps some fatigue. She seems to be used to her routine and performs it with unruffled calm, without thinking about anything more. The title of the painting, “We just live and chew bread”, is a key element for understanding the artist’s intention. It emphasizes the simplicity and ordinariness of life, focuses attention on basic needs and routine actions that form the basis of our existence.
The painting measures 115x106 cm and can be hung on the wall to decorate the interior of an apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel. You can buy art works “We just live and chew bread” online with free shipping to your location!
