'Another day at the office' - Tharien Smith

Dimensions: 43 x 31 cm (16.9 x 12.2 inches)

Medium: Mixed media on paper, placed on a box frame with perspex on top

Providing a witty and surreal glance into domestic intimacy, 'Another day at the office' is a captivating mixed-media work by Tharien Smith. The artwork measures 43 cm (Height) x 31 cm (Width) and is beautifully presented on a box frame with a Perspex overlay, which lends the piece a modern, luminous finish.

The composition explores the absurdity of the "everyday" through the depiction of a couple in a playful, private embrace. In a humorous subversion of a typical romantic scene, the man wears a pair of oversized, bright yellow monster-claw slippers as the woman rests across his lap. This jarring focal point provides a striking contrast to the more naturalistic rendering of the figures.

Smith utilises an earthy palette of warm browns and muted greens for the background, allowing the vibrant yellow of the slippers and the soft flesh tones of the figures to command the viewer's attention. This piece is an excellent conversation starter, blending technical figurative skill with a bold, contemporary sense of humour.
