30 STANLEY PINKER OH AHA .... signed and inscribed with the title (in the artist’s handmade and painted frame) oil on canvas 102,5 x 154 cm Kilbourn Collection “ OH AHA is a multilayered work displaying all the wit, intelligence, humour and sensuality that has made Stanley Pinker’s paintings so sought-after. The semantic word-play of the title conveys many meanings from ‘oh’ indicating surprise to ‘aha’ suggesting understanding, agreement or achievement. Following the discovery of ‘aha’ with the delight of ‘haha’ invokes both humour and the iconoclasm of the Dadaists.” (Extract Strauss & Co catalogue October 2014)
