FUCK YEAH

glamour of sex / glitz of violence

A woman’s gaping mouth and shiny red lips invite us to step in and look closer at this large-scale painting. A shiny rifle cartridge protrudes from her teeth like a dangling golden cigarette, adding a level of violence to the setting’s glamorous charge. But then there is a splash of blood on the left side. Is she the victim or perpetrator? We don’t know. But the message is clear: Rounded golden letters at the top and bottom spell out FUCK YEAH. The glamour of sex and the glitz of violence are forced together in an onslaught of contrasting textures and vivid colors, generating a depraved fable of contemporary life that we just can’t stop looking at, no matter how much we try…
