Symptoms of the crisis are visible in the use of animal jaws, such as in Inward Looking (2012), in which the mouth of a shark skeleton, containing an old megaphone, seems to be shouting at the figure of an European woman wearing 19th century clothes, or in The Bridge (2012), where a rabbit lies on an animal jaw behind some toy soldiers facing the front, but also in Crocodile Tears (2011), in which the title itself stands for hypocrisy. It seems as if you open your mouth you might get into trouble, as in Saying the truth is a suicide (2012) with a false human teeth. According to the artist, his works "are telling things that are beyond speaking and most people in our society are not willing to hear or talk to".
Utarit's canvases are famous for questioning the nature of images and how these are made: either influenced by photography, or combined with elements from landscape painting or still lifes, or taking ideas from antique markets, the language of painting in Illustration of the Crisis is challenging the audience to reflect on the multifarious possibilities to understand contemporary painting, but also to take a look at ways to address contemporary issues.
