Did you know that the cuckoo does not make a nest, it lays eggs in the nests of other birds to incubate its eggs and feed its young…

“The Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is a contemporary painting with 3D effect by the painter and multimedia artist Dominique Mulhem.
THE TECHNIQUE
Dominique Mulhem’s holopaintings are based on the technique of lenticular holography. Mulhem was one of the first artists to use this technique in the 1970s. Thus he is considered one of the pioneers of holography and the first multimedia artist.
Also the result of the artistic approach of Dominique Mulhem, allows our eye to perceive a 3D effect. Indeed one distinguishes very clearly planes more or less distant. Moreover, the attitude of the visitors of the art gallery is revealing in this respect. They apply themselves to observe the thickness of the work. Like a box which would contain objects arranged one behind the other. Sometimes the children, deceived by the optical illusion, approach their hands. They try to capture the elements represented in the foreground.
It is neither painting, nor sculpture, nor photography, nor digital art, but rather all at once, it is holopainting.
THE WORK
In “The Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, small biplane fighter planes in pop colours, which look like they came out of a toy box, overhang the roofs of Wall Street. Dominique Mulhem is still having fun with our pitiless world. The cuckoos he denounces are the traders of the financial market, who make profits on the backs of the workers. His little warplanes won’t do them much harm. An interesting way of playing with the title of Milos Forman’s famous film, another story of rebellion.
The frame, with a rod covered with a smoked mirror lacquer, contributes to sublimate this very beautiful piece.
