Caesarian Sunday (Battle for Jesus Green)
2017
This transfer drawing depicts two figures in an intimate embrace against a loosely rendered landscape of clouds and horizon. The composition centers on a standing adult cradling a smaller child, both rendered with expressive line work in brown and black ink that conveys tenderness alongside a subtle psychological complexity. The artist employs gestural mark making and tonal variations to create spatial depth while maintaining the immediacy of figural presence. Bas's practice frequently interrogates themes of desire, vulnerability, and power through carefully observed human interaction, positioning this work within contemporary figuration that draws from both art historical traditions and queer theoretical frameworks.
