Early to Bed, Early to Rise, Advertise
checked 23 September
Hans Breuker's "Early to
Bed, Early to Rise & Advertise" is a celebration of modern success and luxury. This provocative piece shows a rhino dressed in a stylish white suit, relaxing on a luxurious sofa. The image is imbued with the playful irony and visual flair that characterize Breuker's work. The rhinoceros, a symbol of strength and steadfastness, contrasts beautifully with his chic outfit and the equally luxurious surroundings.
Next to him is a bottle of champagne, bearing the
Latin inscription "veni, vidi, vici" - "I came, I saw, I conquered" - a classic motto that underlines the triumph and determination of success.
The title of the work, "Early to
Bed, Early to Rise & Advertise," nods to the modern mantras of productivity and self-promotion. The piece invites the viewer to reflect on the pressure to be constantly visible and successful in today's society.
As part of the
Pop Art collection, this artwork exudes both glamour and a profound message.
