Original Acrylic Painting by Jussi Goman (2015)

Jussi Goman - Second Hand (2015)
Acrylic on canvas
Framed size 45 cm x 65 cm

This original artwork by Jussi Goman is a striking example of his expressive, electric style. With its bold purples, surreal hand forms, and layered textures, the piece blends humor with a hint of the uncanny. Tattoo-like markings and unexpected objects add to its offbeat energy. True to Goman’s work, it feels spontaneous yet intentional — a mix of raw gesture and graphic clarity.

The title is just as playful and layered. On the surface, it’s a literal nod to the two hands depicted, but it also invites deeper interpretation — hinting at touch, memory, or the passing down of things, whether objects or emotions. There’s even a possible nod to time (as in a clock’s second hand), adding a subtle temporal twist. It’s clever, concise, and open-ended — a wink to the viewer, classic Goman.

Framed in a sleek, silver-toned metal frame with a lightly brushed finish, the presentation is clean, minimal and a little industrial — the perfect contrast to the expressive brushwork and vibrand colors.

Goman’s work has gained a cult following in the Nordic art scene for good reason: it’s bold, witty, and instantly recognizable. Whether you’re a collector or just drawn to art that doesn't take itself too seriously, Second Hand is a one-of-a-kind statement piece that brings both edge and emotion to any space.
