Description
Roy van der Laars’ artwork, entitled “Work Harder”, is a neon-framed glass art piece measuring 120x80cm. The work has a limited edition of only 8 copies produced.

In the image, we can see a couple in an intimate and sensual moment, surrounded by various animals and cartoon characters, all in vibrant and fluorescent colors. The choice to depict animals and cartoon characters can be interpreted in various ways, but it is clear that the work seeks to explore themes such as sexuality, fantasy, and fun.

The technique used in the artwork is glass art with a neon-like frame, creating a modern and attractive visual effect. The message “Work Harder” written on the frame can be interpreted as a critique of the culture of hard work, or as an invitation to strive harder to achieve desires and pleasures.

Overall, “Work Harder” is a bold and provocative work of art that invites reflection on the relationship between work, pleasure, and sexuality in contemporary society.
Roy van der Laars, Work Harder
