Copyright The Artist
"Sticky Pink" focuses on human relationships and their quality. A chewing gum, a modern symbol of rapid consumption and pleasure, combines the classic faces of a man and a woman; the chewing gum has a very bright color and attracts the viewer's attention, almost eclipsing the two human faces. The artist asks himself questions about human relationships, about our ability to build a true and profound relationship based on knowing the soul of others, instead of using it as a momentary object of pleasure. In today's world of consumerism and materialism, this is the most important challenge that man can face.
