Description

Running Before Buddha (2024) Revar Lagelli Acrylic over an existing printed image | 78.6 × 77.6 × 2.8 cm In Running Before Buddha (2024), Swedish artist Revar Lagelli transforms a mass-produced Buddha image from IKEA into an independent work of art. By painting directly over the original image, Lagelli creates a portrait in which the previous subject gives way to a new presence. The act of transformation becomes an essential part of the work’s identity, allowing an existing image to serve as the foundation for something entirely new. Through earthy tones, dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, and visible drawing lines, Lagelli combines classical approaches to portraiture with an expressive and experimental painting technique. The flowing traces of paint and the textured surface reveal a creative process in which earlier visual layers coexist with new artistic interventions. The title, Running Before Buddha, gains a literal significance through the painting’s origins. Beneath the painted figure lies another image, another visual narrative, and a previous artistic expression. The work invites reflection on transformation, appropriation, and artistic independence. Through the artist’s hand, an industrially manufactured object acquires a new identity, challenging the boundaries between reproduction and originality. Running Before Buddha ultimately explores the possibility of creating something deeply personal from something originally intended for mass consumption.
