Taking out the trash, from your life and the back of your mind. Freeing your mind of unnecessary baggage for things that lie ahead. The figure depicted, for whom the artist used himself as a model, is probably still carrying his bag of trash around with him.
Since the 1990s, Schmidt has been developing his series "Freie Malereien" (Free Paintings) and "Freie Malereien II" (Free Paintings II), in which he depicts human emotions and behavior in a deliberately reduced yet ambiguous style.

In his work, Ralf Schmidt combines elements of illustration, graphic design, and painting to create a distinctive, stylized realism with Pop Art influences. Clear contours, striking colors, and isolated figures or objects characterize his style. Humorous, everyday scenes like this one, a person with a garbage bag, take on a deeper, often socially commentary meaning through composition and context.
