BRIGA - HE'S JUST A GAME

In this work, BRIGA stages one of the central themes of their research: the ambiguous relationship between fear and play. An innocent and disoriented blue elephant faces a red creature with threatening features, suspended between a monster and a video game character. The question marks above the elephant's head and the writing 'Don’t worry, he’s just a game' suggest an attempt at reassurance that, rather than calming, amplifies doubt.

Childhood imagination here becomes a powerful tool to talk about emotional fragility: what should be harmless appears unsettling, while danger is minimized through the language of play. BRIGA works on this emotional short circuit with irony and apparent lightness, allowing a subtle tension to emerge between control and chaos, reality and fiction.

Color is the absolute protagonist: the soft, reassuring blue of the elephant clashes with the bright red of the antagonist figure, creating an emotional environment more than a narrative one. The painterly material is visible, raw, deliberately imperfect, in line with the artist's instinctive aesthetic and his dialogue between naïve art and street art language. The text, painted as a direct mark on the surface, does not explain the work but amplifies its meaning, opening a space for personal interpretation.

BRIGA, a contemporary visual artist and student of Igor Verrilli at the Atelier Verrilli, has developed a recognizable language characterized by free gesture, saturated colors, and narratives suspended between play and unease. His works populate a symbolic universe where anthropomorphic animals and hybrid figures become metaphors for our daily fears, often masked by lightness.

An emblematic work of BRIGA's poetics, capable of combining visual immediacy and conceptual depth, ideal for collectors attentive to new expressions of contemporary figurative art.
