SALIM BAYRI, I thought it was a good idea, 2019
31 x 22,3 cm (20,5 x 13), framed
Salim Bayri not only likes to put together images but also words that don't have much to do with each other at first and then looks on with a grin and watches how a concept (idea) relates to a result, like here a deal.
Some words are very similar, but evoke a completely different picture. The text "I thought it was a good deal" in this drawing seems to carry the title of the work, i.e. "I thought it was a good idea". You would almost think it is a mistake.
