Social

Social is a work by the Spanish artist Paco Pomet (Granada, Spain, 1970). Pomet plays with the contrast between black and white and a striking touch of colour. Sharp observation, humour and realism come together in Paco Pomet’s deliciously caustic reflections on human existence. References to pop and colour inject social commentary into faux historical scenes, underlining the timeless nature of our endeavours and concerns. In this case, the inspiration for Social comes from a photographic archive in the US. Fascinated by the technological advances of the early 20th century, Pomet considers the dialogue between photography and painting to be essential in his work.
