Brief description:
Contemporary work belonging to a series focused on everyday objects reinterpreted from a sober, almost sculptural aesthetic. The representation of a tuna can transcends the domestic to turn a common element into a visual icon, playing with the memory of consumption, popular culture and the beauty of the ordinary. The dark background and the treatment of light bring drama and a material presence, while the brass-colored aluminum frame reinforces the piece’s elegant, industrial character.
