Title: Case File: Jeanny – The Doll, the Police Report, and the Missing Truth
Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: W108cm x H105cm
Inspired by the Song: Jeanny by Falco
Painting Description:
This piece resonates strongly with the themes found in Falco's controversial 1985 song, "Jeanny." Much like the song’s haunting melody and ambiguous lyrics, the painting presents an unsettling narrative open to interpretation. The song, told from the perspective of an obsessive man addressing a young woman named Jeanny, sparked significant controversy upon release due to its dark and suggestive themes. Some interpretations see it as a tale of crime and obsession, while others view it as a social critique of media sensationalism and the way tragic stories are exploited for public fascination.
The intense use of color, blending purples, blues, and warm golden tones, conveys a contrast between hope and despair. The blurred, abstract background adds to the sense of confusion and detachment, enhancing the painting’s melancholic atmosphere. Upon its release, "Jeanny" faced bans from several radio stations across Germany and other European countries, as critics claimed it hinted at predatory behavior and coercion. Despite (or perhaps because of) the controversy, the song became a major hit, drawing listeners into its eerie, whisper-like vocals and chilling atmosphere.
In response to public intrigue, Falco released sequels to the song that deepened the mystery surrounding Jeanny’s fate. "Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2)" and "Bar Minor 69 (Jeanny Part 3), released posthumously, continued the ambiguous storyline, keeping audiences questioning whether Jeanny was a victim, a runaway, or simply a figment of the narrator's imagination.
The painting mirrors these elements, leaving viewers questioning whether the subject is lost in thought, trapped in her own reality, or a victim of something much darker. The doll in her hand could symbolize an attempt to hold onto childhood innocence amidst an overwhelming and chaotic world, further aligning with the song's overarching themes of vulnerability and power dynamics.
Like an unsolved case file, the painting leaves behind clues—a worn doll, an expression of sorrow, and a landscape of fractured colors—inviting the viewer to piece together Jeanny's story. Is she longing for escape, remembering a past that never was, or confronting a future she cannot change? The expressive brushwork and intense contrasts evoke a lingering unease, compelling us to explore the blurred lines between truth and fiction, innocence and corruption.
Ultimately, this painting stands as a powerful visual counterpart to Falco's provocative masterpiece—an artistic enigma that resonates with anyone who has ever searched for answers in the silence.
Title: Regan’s Theme: A Tribute to Ennio Morricone’s Elegy from Pain to Ultimate Joy
Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: W108cm x H105cm
Inspired by The Film: Exorcist II – The Heretic
Directed by: John Boorman
Music Composed by: Ennio Morricone (Regan's Theme - Finale)
Painting Description:
Regan’s Theme from Exorcist II: The Heretic serves as the core inspiration for this painting, a heartfelt homage to Ennio Morricone’s hauntingly atmospheric and chillingly innovative score. While the film itself has long been dismissed as one of the most maligned entries in the Exorcist series, Morricone’s music has stood the test of time as a masterpiece—a deeply unsettling yet profoundly beautiful composition that artfully balanced chaos, eeriness, and fragile hope.
John Boorman’s Exorcist II: The Heretic is a polarizing piece of filmography, known for its experimental direction and surrealistic ambition, yet derided for its narrative missteps and tonal inconsistencies. However, Morricone’s score elevated the film beyond its flaws, with Regan’s Theme as the crowning moment. The music in the finale transitions the narrative from lingering unease to a climactic release, reflecting Regan’s journey from trauma and possession to ultimate freedom and joy. Morricone’s ability to marry discordant, perverse sounds with a delicate, ethereal melody mirrors the human condition—one that endures suffering to emerge into the light.
This painting reflects the artistic duality embedded within the score and the film itself. The vibrant, radiant smile of Regan becomes a symbol of catharsis and triumph, while the abstract, fragmented background evokes the remnants of her past trauma—the chaos she endured before finding peace. It is a visual ode to resilience, to the idea that true happiness often carries the shadows of the pain we overcome.
The use of bold, emotive brushstrokes and electrifying colors underscores this dichotomy. The abstract nature of the background mirrors the unpredictability and surreal tone of the film, while the expression of Regan—a vivid, heartfelt smile—brings the narrative full circle. It’s as though the darkness of her journey has been reframed as the foundation for her joy, much like Morricone’s score resolves its eerie dissonance into a melody of bittersweet redemption.
This painting also pays tribute to the overlooked brilliance of Morricone’s work, reclaiming the emotional depth and artistry often overshadowed by the film’s reputation. It is an acknowledgment of his ability to tell stories through sound, to convey the fragility and resilience of the human spirit through melody. Ultimately, the painting serves as a timeless reflection of Regan’s story, a universal tale of surviving life’s darkest shadows to find light, and the transformative power of art and music in shaping that journey.
