About The Artwork

"Smoke Break" is a painting that incorporates elements of pop culture and childhood nostalgia, with a strong reference to the catchphrase "That's all Folks" used to end many classic cartoons at the center of the work. The distorted image of Mickey Mouse, a well-known and beloved childhood character, is a standout feature of the painting, and the influence of artist George Condo can be seen in the deformation of the face, as he is known for his highly symbolic and often surrealist works. The inclusion of other symbols such as a target, crosses, cacti, and Campbell's cans adds to the rich symbolism of the painting and invites the viewer to try to decode their meaning. The phrase "Smoke Break Joke" at the top of the painting adds a layer of humor to the work and may suggest that the artist is poking fun at the idea of a "smoke break" or using it as a metaphor for something else. Overall, "Smoke Break" is a complex and thought-provoking piece that invites the viewer to explore its many layers and symbols.

Born in Buenos Aires in 1976 and now based in Spain, Diego Tirigall grew up in a family of antique dealers and art restorers, instilling in him a deep respect for art from a young age. A self-taught artist, Tirigall has developed a unique style that blends elements of neo-expressionism, art brut, and street art. His work is characterized by bold primary colors and a knack for deconstructing pop culture, offering a critique of modern life without dwelling on its darker aspects. Tirigall's art aims to activate critical reflection in the viewer, challenging them to decode and engage in meaningful debate on current issues like financial decentralization and screen addiction.
