About the Item
"Stupid Game" is one of the pieces from the "Fetishes" series created by moldovan-spanish artist Natasha Lelenco in 2022. This artwork talks about peace and about the stupid game of war. An anthropomorphic figure crafted from botanical elements confronts a small toy depicting a plastic soldier in this surreal blue and green artwork by Natasha Lelenco. The foolish game of humankind against nature, from its plastic insignificance, is addressed by Natasha in a piece distinguished by meticulous figurative work, compositional originality, and the brilliance of its colors. This makes this piece a powerful work, whether installed individually or as part of a multiple composition with other pieces from the same series and format.
This work can be interpreted as an anti-war statement, as well as taking a clear critical stance against the degradation of the planet due to human impact.
This painting was originated as a commission for the exhibition "Imaxinaria, Mostra Internacional de Ilustración Contemporánea" in Santiago de Compostela and A Coruña, Spain. It is part of the "Fetishes" series where the artist addresses themes such as the human position in nature, questioning anthropocentrism as an unquestionable stance.
The piece has been conceived as an absolute whole and does not require a frame. The sides have been worked on and are an integral part of its composition.
Lelenco's "Fetiches" series melds portraiture and anthropomorphic forms, achieved through a meticulous accumulation of elements. These elements intertwine with a nuanced thematic exploration, touching upon both kitsch and popular iconography. The series also delves into the inseparable connection between humanity and the larger living community.
Drawing from her personal biography, Natasha Lelenco constructs a dialogue between memory and imagery. Through a skillful process, she resurrects fragments of her past to craft fresh narratives that challenge conventional perceptions of existence. This narrative depth, coupled with psychological complexity, echoes classical influences, seamlessly bridging the gap between Renaissance portraiture and contemporary expression. Notably, Lelenco's "Fetiches" series echoes the artistic echoes of Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
These pieces have been designed to function individually or to be combined into multiple panels, engaging in dialogue with other artworks from the same series. Feel free to reach out to us if you're interested in exploring additional pieces to create multi-panel arrangements. The artist also accepts commissions.
