La Suerte Absurda Print

In “La Suerte Absurda”, Lady Kunst appropriates and subverts elements of popular culture and the domestic to construct a visual narrative charged with irony and ambiguity. The artist presents herself with a plastic shower cap, an everyday, prosaic object, and an artificial mouth in the form of exaggerated lips, which add a touch of grotesque and humor. His direct gaze alludes to a dialogue with the viewer, while the face itself maintains a complex expression, somewhere between seriousness and playfulness.

Next to it, the golden figure of the Maneki-neko, the Japanese “lucky cat”, which usually represents prosperity and good fortune, introduces an element of kitsch and superstition. The juxtaposition of these disparate objects – the banal, the contrived, the superstitious – against an austere black background, creates an atmosphere of theatricality and strangeness.

Lady Kunst uses portraiture as a stage to explore the construction of identity in the contemporary era, where the authentic and the fabricated are intertwined. The work invites reflection on the search for luck, imposed beauty and art’s ability to transform the ordinary into a sharp commentary on the human condition.

ABOUT LADY KUNST

The portrait is the expression of the human being lived through the look, the shapes in the face which are marked by the passage of time. The close-up shot expresses strength and dominance. Photography is the fastest contact between the ethereal and the physical world. Light is the creator per se of the portrait.

Lady Kunst’s work is a mixture of apathy, courage and desperation. For Lady Kunst, life is a theater in which we are all protagonists. Lady Kunst’s work focuses on political and commercial aspects, making a severe criticism of the current values of society, especially luxury, consumption and advertising.

“My work is a mixture of apathy, courage and desperation. In order better represent the political issues of the society, I had created the fictional figure of Lady Kunst.“
