Spectacle of image (Jr.)
This figure is the son of the couple "Spectacle of image" and is part of the Social Satire series, which critiques vanity, materialism, and image culture in contemporary society. The sculpture is made entirely of Papier-mâché and painted with acrylic paint, valuing the artisanal technique.
Character and Symbols: The character is a young, expressive figure, adorned with elements that suggest ostentation and status. Like the parents, the exposure of the genitals is an element that intensifies the critique, serving as a visual commentary on the excessive focus on image and exterior appearance.
Style and Expression: The style is markedly figurative and expressive. The body is stylized, with a confident posture, open arms, and a slightly raised chin, conveying an attitude of superiority or self-admiration.
Visual Contrast: The piece uses a bold visual contrast: the vibrant skin tone (pink/red) contrasts dramatically with the black and red polka dot patterned clothes, reinforcing the artificial and performative nature of the image the character constructs.
