100 × 160 cm
Oil paint on canvas
1999
Signed (front and back)

Selwyn Senatori is known for his narrative paintings in which he combines personal memories, cinematic references, and elements of popular culture. His work often evokes a sense of nostalgia and resembles a still film image: a moment full of atmosphere, tension, and suggestion. Senatori’s painting style is recognizable by his loose brushwork, warm color palette, and the dreamy, sometimes slightly melancholic tone. His work is collected internationally and is regularly showcased on (inter)national art platforms.
The title The Breakfast Club refers to the iconic film The Breakfast Club by director John Hughes. This cult classic from 1985 revolves around five students who come together during a Saturday detention and gradually reveal their differences, insecurities, and personal stories. The film symbolizes youth culture, identity, and underlying emotion — themes that align well with Senatori’s oeuvre.
In this painting, Senatori translates the cinematic and emotional load into imagery. The everyday moment gains a deeper meaning and invites the viewer to construct their own story. Thus, The Breakfast Club is not only a powerful visual work but also an intriguing narrative painting that appeals to both art and film enthusiasts.
