“LOST (Black Female) is an assemblage of lost animal flyers that were gathered by the artist over a period of several years, while out on the streets writing graffiti.
His fascination with the desperate nature of these flyers inspired him to create a piece depicting what he believes to be one of the purest forms of art on the street, rooted in sorrow and devoid of hubris or bluster.
Each flyer chronicles a story of love and loss which has in turn forced a person to produce a candid pictorialization in sincere hopes of being reunited with what they have lost.
The proportion of the piece attempts to establish an overwhelming sense of melancholy through the urgency of art in a crisis.”
Wish I could be there to witness this re-creation of Erik Brunetti’s LOST installation. Losing a pet can be a traumatizing event for many people as they treated their pet like their own children. Being involved in animal rescue and shelters, personally I have witness many such moment where desperation and sorrow of the almost helpless owners can only end in grief.
