Img. ID: 131
The artist is depicted on a large unstretched canvas painted with army camoflage. His figure is drwan in white contours except his penis, which is revealed as he is seated with legs apart with his nipples and his left hand pointing downwards. His right hand lays on his right knee holding a deer horn againsst the camoflage pattern. His face is painted realistically on a panel that is attached to his shoulders. A white pyramid is drawn on his forhead and a smaller figure is drawn on the lower right corner of the square which contains the visage of the artist.
