On this painting you see me enjoying an Not To Be Reproduced (La Reproduction Interdite) by Rene Magritte.
The original work by Magritte depicts a man standing in front of a mirror, but whereas the book on the mantelpiece is reflected correctly, the man's reflection also shows him from behind.
However, in my version I take the place of the man seen from behind in the mirror adding new meaning to this piece. This painting is a study for a yet to be painted larger work.
kind regards, Gerard
