Work by Bruno Big

Second Floor / Window and wall / Glycero paints and aerosols / 2012

“My theme that day was love, sex and the fire of passion. I like painting subliminal images that seem abstract at first glance. Look a little closer and you might well find a couple making love, or possibly two bodies transforming into one ... My identity is based strongly on my lines, and I’m always exploring what I can do with them. I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to paint that day, but the location was so appealing, so inspirational, that I felt like saying something about love, sex and passion, and about how life can be a playful experience. Because that’s my philosophy: “Life your life playfully!”
