Me & U
SOLD
Acrylic on canvas
2020
A life-size portrait of the artist making love to a giant letter U, as a semantical metaphor for the Other, ‘You’. Purposely the size of a Queen sized mattress as a reference to gay culture vocabulary, this work reflects on the artist’s past relationships. A seemingly dialogue between the artist and language, the painting actually becomes the artist’s own monologue.
With a certificate of authenticity signed by the Artist.
Each artwork is carefully packaged and shipped with professional care.

About the artist
"When I was a young boy I often had this feeling that reality was a fiction, like a permanent cinema screen with pictures scrolling, and that I was not able to take part in it. I felt like a passive spectator of my own life. Art has allowed me to take part in reality, to take a position, and to choose a point of view. The canvas is my cinema screen."
Pedro Ruxa
Born in 1993 in Lisbon, Portugal, Pedro Ruxa lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
