My piece for Copeland Gallery - Peckham "Boys Don't Cry"

Greta Bellamacina

"BALLS LIKE WINTER FRUIT" 2017 

Spray paint and acrylic on canvas

121 x 152 cm

This is from series of poem paintings by Greta Bellamacina. The series blows up short poems to graffiti scale, but written in a uniquely feminine and expressive hand. This piece softens and sensualise a metaphor that begins by describing testicles as winter fruit, describing a whole locked up kingdom of men's emotions being therapeutically released like birds.
