Additional Information

Originally painted in 2014 and titled Laughing with Death: Love, Death, Immortality and a Respectable Haircut, this work has undergone its own cycle of erasure and reinvention. Once a skull-based composition, it was revisited in early 2021, transforming into a surreal landscape—shifting from a direct confrontation with mortality to something more ambiguous, fluid, and dreamlike.

Inspired by Underworld’s Eraser of Love, the painting captures the fleeting nature of love, memory, and identity. It pulses with urgency, layering fragments of passion, loss, and distortion. Love etches itself into the psyche, only to be scratched out, rewritten, or lost in the static. The textures and shifting forms reflect this process—moments of clarity dissolving into abstraction, devotion and destruction intertwining.

Like the song, Eraser of Love is both hypnotic and restless, a dance between intensity and oblivion. It asks whether love is something we truly hold onto or just another thing we try—and fail—to outrun. Either way, the beat goes on.
