Pairilis


Pairilis

Colour pencil, acrylic, metallic pigment 178 mm x 127 mm, 2017
The fifth piece in the collection Under The Bed

This collection of colour pencil drawings explores imaginary monsters that appear at night from a child's perspective. 

Have you ever woken up in the night and not been able to move your body? If you have it was most probably the doing of the Pairilis. He makes pendulums from loose clothes threads and coins he finds around the house, which he then uses to hypnotize his victims into a state of paralysis. If you can muster up enough energy to move your eyes, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of him sitting on your stomach.
