Mauro Perucchetti

With bold, synthetic colors and pristine, shiny surfaces, Perucchetti’s “Jelly Babies” appeal to the eyes and to the sense of touch. For the artist, these little sweet rudimentary human forms symbolize the disposability that permeates all aspects of contemporary consumer society. Perucchetti uses it to mock the aspirations that this society claims it has, but which it so often cynically betrays.
