Jan Kiefer has created a body of works dedicated to a snowman, a friendly mascot that he imagined as an inflatable sculpture that he alternately activates in neat, small-scale oil paintings. While the snowman enjoys winter sports to the fullest on the slopes, thus gaining almost humanlike traits, he endures a very lonely existence as a blow-up figure. Deprived of the fun and the enchanting landscape, he experiences lockdown, condemned to confinement. Through his visionary mindset, Kiefer has created this group of works before the pandemic.
