We’ve got this one thing in common, 21 x 29,7 cm, 2024, Pencil on paper

Abel Kabel's piece, "We’ve Got This One Thing in Common", presents a whimsical yet thought-provoking scene. The artwork features a clown with a vintage, almost melancholic appearance, petting a black cat. The clown gazes directly at the viewer with an expression that is both introspective and slightly enigmatic, as if inviting us to uncover the shared connection hinted at in the title. The inclusion of the cat adds an element of warmth and mystery. The phrase beneath the image, "We’ve got this one thing in common", seems to emphasize the bond between the clown and the cat, perhaps a shared sense of solitude, companionship, or mutual understanding. Kabel’s choice to juxtapose a figure often associated with humor and performance with a quiet, personal moment gives the work an intimate feeling. It invites viewers to reflect on the universal threads that connect us all, no matter how different our outward appearances or roles might seem.
