TIGRE OG NABOER

En sydfransk pensioneret enlig jernbanearbejder, der bor ca. 30 km. fra os i en mindre bjerglandsby, havde hele sit liv sparet sammen for at købe to tigre, som han kunne have i sin baghave.
Han lavede et hegn med ting han fandt rundt omkring. Det blev en blanding af hønsenet, ståltråd, sengebunde, bildæk o.lign. ting.

Manden købte to store, unge tigre af et mindre cirkus, og fik dem installeret i sin indhegning. Der gik dog ikke lang tid før naboerne klagede. De havde svært ved at sove om natten, fordi de blev vækket af tigerbrøl og derved følte sig utrygge. Samtidig var de heller ikke glade for at sende børnene i skole når de skulle forbi hans hus med to vilde tigre i baghaven.
Der blev en masse ballade. Det var i TV og aviserne skrev spalte op og spalte ned om problemet. Resultatet blev efter nogle måneder, at myndighederne forlangte, at han skulle lave en professionel sikker indhegning.
Manden havde ingen mulighed for at finansiere dette.

Det var heller ikke billigt at fodre de to tigre, for de spiser mellem syv og ni kg. kød om dagen. Den pensionerede, enlige jernbanearbejder måtte afvikle sin drøm, til stor tilfredshed for kvarterets naboer.

Gad vide, hvis han havde haft en kone, om der så var blevet indkøbt tigre…

EYE OF THE TIGER


Computer sketch for a decoration.

Sketch for decoration for a large company situated in Odense harbour. Denmark

The owner wanted the three painting to appear as one complete work, and the same blue colour to appear as a common thread in each painting. The office has three windows each of 16 sq metres looking out over the harbour in Odense. This gives sky and water a great effect on the light in the room.

The tigers were to be violent and aggressive and the office was to be charged with energy and exude power. You are meant to feel when standing in the room that it is the same tiger attacking you and that the three paintings should hang together, so that you cannot remove one without it being missing in the complete picture.

Sketches of office decoration carried out on computer.
The digital pictures were painted in Painter 8 and Photoshop CS.

The three paintings all have a height of 2 metres and measure 1.75, 1.5 and 3 metres in length respectively.

Watercolor – The Tiger and the Gad-fly

 

The Tiger and the Gad-fly

 

A gad-fly is an irritating creature. It can even drive a tiger mad.
Some people think it even enjoys it.

It is a different kettle of fish when it is stuck in the spider’s web…

Watercolor – The Tiger in Love

 

The Tiger in Love

For love the tiger gets its teeth and claws filed down: then it is gentle
To its beloved….
But also to its executioners.
