About the Item

In classic Sharp Edge 21st Century New York Style, Berlin acknowledges and shows solidarity with the world mourning the cruel death of George Floyd in the United States, and starting to come together to try to make sense of systemic racism. Black Lives Matter but the answer doesn't lie in rioting, violence and looting and Berlin volunteers his solution; it's a Spartacus style moment in history, collective responsibility. This piece fits within the radius of other pieces in the series, for example "Stamp Out Racism, We All from Africa", and highlights Berlins overarching humanity & love of his fellow man.

Instant Society Street Art Basquiat Style
Located in OIA, ES
"Nestcafe Society" and Corporate Ideals A striking painting by Diego Tirigall prompts deep thoughts about the relationship between appearances and reality. The painting features a rough sketch of a well-known instant coffee brand logo with words "N3stcafe Society" beneath it. This serves as a powerful symbol of the illusions that society and corporate ideals can create. The Illusion of High-Quality Coffee The painting highlights the gap between the promise of high-quality coffee and the reality of mass-produced, preservative-filled coffee packaged in an industrial jar. The large axe that cuts through the words "N3stcafe Society" symbolizes the destruction of these false promises and the consequences of pretending to be something one is not. The red coffee jar...
