Fat Baby II by Michael Lawrence Semi-Glossy Premium Poster

A premium print of Fat Baby II, from the Baby Series by surrealist painter Michael Lawrence, ready to frame your way.

Fat Baby II is the second oil painting in Michael Lawrence's Baby Series, a dreamlike scene reminiscent of Gulliver's Travels. The baby was inspired by a Weekly World News article about the fattest baby in the world, and here stands for innocence and prosperity, wading in tranquil water beside a derelict ship marked with the Egyptian hieroglyph for eternity. In the foreground a small raft of men reels in a coelacanth, an ancient fish once thought extinct, while a locust flies overhead as a reminder of nature's creativity and destruction. The painting explores birth, rebirth and the transitory nature of existence.
