The Circus

Oil on round wooden panel, by Thommas Linnrose.

Size Ø 90 cm

The painting depicts the strong 'magical allure' of a circus tent as an inviting sanctuary. In contrast to this is the girl, who slowly walks away, creating a sense of distance. Her averted gaze suggests a detachment from the amusements being offered.

The lively circus and the fantastical zebra become symbols of a wonder that exists just beyond her reach, a spectacle observed but not experienced. The expansive landscape and the dramatic sky underscore this feeling of being on the periphery, where the allure is a distant promise.

Her small backpack hints at a personal journey unfolding outside the realm of this sanctuary, which can be interpreted as a quiet resilience towards these unattainable experiences. The painting therefore evokes a sense of longing and the subtle barriers that can exist between individuals and collective understanding.
