I’m interested in exploring the intricate relationship between materialistic aspirations, individual identity, and the allure of luxury in this piece titled “Gotta have em all”. Through the portrayal of a confident young man in a three-piece suit reclining in his Aston Martin DB4, the artwork delves into the complexities of external success and genuine fulfilment. The use of a captivating yellow fluorescent hue highlighting the car's contours against a navy blue background creates visual tension and prompts viewers to contemplate their own desires and the impact of societal expectations. The artwork aims to initiate a dialogue on the pursuit of authenticity and the balance between material wealth and personal happiness.
