Acrylic on canvas

Artwork description:

This painting titled: "Final Cut" by Luis López depicts a figure engaged in an unusual act of cutting their red tie on a plate with a fork and knife, creating a striking surrealist image. The face of the central figure is not fully visible, focusing more on the action of cutting the tie. The figure is seated at a table, with utensils in hand, as though about to consume a meal. However, rather than traditional food, the figure is cutting their red tie on an empty white plate, symbolizing a break or transformation in this context. This surreal element might symbolize the consumption of one´s identity or the sacrifices individuals make for work or social roles. The tie, a traditional symbol of corporate life or professionalism, being "eaten" could indicate how such roles consume a person´s individuality or self-expression. The choice of utensils and the meticulous manner of cutting evokes a ritualistic or ceremonial aspect, which adds to the painting´s depth.

The colors in this magnificent painting are bold and symbolic. The purple suit stands out with its richness, suggesting themes of individuality or nonconformity. while the red tie, a symbol of power or formal identity, draws attention as it is being cut. The light pink background and grayish-blue table create a contrast and emphasize the figure´s bold outfit.

In summary, "Final Cut" combines surrealism with social commentary, potentially representing contemporary themes of breaking free from corporate life, personal identity, or societal expectations, all while using a simple yet striking visual metaphor.

Many of Luis López artworks are part of international art collectors based in: Berlin, San Juan, Los Angeles, Paris, Argentina, Dallas, Singapore, Bogotá, New York and Madrid.
