Koager's Skyscape Painting
Description:
Koger’s skyscape painting imitates the Aurora Borealis with the narration of a fantasy story. The soothing gradient of the dark blue starry sky to the pink-white clouds elicits a tranquil atmosphere and strongly contrasts with the Northern Lights, represented by asymmetrical groups of bright colours (yellow, green and pink). Furthermore, there’re two ‘camouflaging’ human faces located in this artwork; one face is on the top right-hand corner and the other face is on the middle left, on the highest cloud. At the bottom of the artwork, there’s a manifest ‘flow’ of horses pulling a chariot. They originate from the bottom right corner (a rainbow marks this) and an anomalous object, outlined in blue, is above these horses.

Koger’s painting implements pleasing gradients and strong contrasts, attracting the audiences’ attention.
Interpret:
Aurora Borealis illustrates a Greek mythology, reminding me of a novel called Thea Stilton and the Ice Treasure (both illustrate the Northern Lights). The painting depicts Aurora (Goddess of Dawn) in her horse-drawn chariot, travelling across the sky. With her arms out, Aurora sprinkles water droplets to announce the Sun's arrival. That justifies the rainbow behind the chariot and warm pastel-coloured clouds.
Euros (East wind) and Zephyrus (West wind) are directing the chariot’s left and right movements. The human faces in the artwork symbolise Euros and Zephyrus. That explains why Marijke ‘camouflaged’ the faces with the sky and clouds (the wind is invisible and intangible) and positioned them on the artwork’s left and right side (on a compass, east and west is left and right).
The electromagnetic forces producing the Aurora Borealis might produce unprecedented phenomena, symbolised by the UFO. Perhaps the flares from the peculiar object foreshadow
