I am ahead of my time. Or should I say “behind schedule for 66 million years?” This week scientists in China found a fossil of an dinosaur egg, approximately 66 million years old. With an almost (!!!) complete skeleton inside. They called it BABY YINGLIANG.
It is believed to be a toothless theropod dinosaur, or oviraptorosaur, and has been named Baby Yingliang. Researcher Dr Fion Waisum Ma said it is “the best dinosaur embryo ever found in history”.
Last month I finished my big drawing “on the origin of species V” ( See one of my latests posts, 150 x 180 cm). And lets be honest, the resemblance is striking. A coincidence? Not really. For years I am working on what I call “The Darwin Project”. When does a brushstroke, or a pencil line, tranforms into a organic form? I don’t plan anything, I don’t make studies, before making the end piece. I just do. The work creates itself. Like the egg of an embryo of a dinosaur, on the point of hatching. The work is for sale.
