About the art
Artist statement
"Reality Soup" by Diego Tirigall, known for his street art and expressionism, engages viewers in a visual dialogue about existence, identity, and society.
It features a skull with a tie, symbolizing the ephemeral nature of life and the tension between personal identity and professional roles.
The piece criticizes consumerism through a reimagined Campbell's soup can, reflecting on social media addiction and its impact on our inner lives.
The mantra "RAN RAN" refers to the Radicalization Awareness Network, highlighting the repetitive nature of radicalization on social media.
The painting explores themes such as social mobility and surveillance, with the diamond motif representing resilience and the search for authenticity.
Tirigall's use of enamel, acrylic, oil pastel, and oil stick adds texture and vibrancy to the work.
The piece juxtaposes artificial intelligence with pop culture, encouraging reflection on the impact of technology on our perception of reality.
Scribbles hiding words in the painting suggest an omnipresent entity, like a corporation or government, influencing various aspects of life.
Tirigall's technique and expressive strokes create a canvas that combines personal reflection with social critique, embodying contemporary urban street art and neo-expressionism.
