Paint Job

FakedCandid is a Signapore-based studio run by visual artists XL and Donson – who both have amazing Instagram feeds, by the way. Their work is focussed on creative and art direction, while their art involves syncing these two modules.

Paint Job is a series of still-life images inspired by the cynical side of a painter’s job. The story is told in a surreal tone, trough the use of peculiar tools and the arrangement of objects, revealing a pinch of the painter’s existence. The bright colors express the depictions of the painter being suffocated, squashed, knocked down and wound – willingly or not.
