Title: Distraction
Location: Vienna, Austria
Artist: Gera 1
For: Calle Libre
Year: 2023
““Distraction” depicts a woman inside a house, holding a mobile phone and a book. Although she is surrounded by two objects that are predominantly distracting us from the rest of the world, she seems detached even from them. Her expression seems natural, troubled and refers to the figure of the modern, everyday woman who has to cope with different challenges and concerns. Through an explosive combination of vibrant, fluo colours and shapes with bold lines and curves, as well as multiple layers of movement and forms, elevates this everyday female figure into the protagonist of a monumental mural; thus transforming the subject and its perspective in the contemporary world. This internal scene is magnified, given greater value and shared in a wider community. The spectator gains access to this scene, as a co-star and is invited to participate, awakening his empathy. The work highlights a moment of the modern everyday life and makes it an organic medium of the urban landscape and its beautification”
