The story behind the print:
A scene from the love story of BONBON SIFFLET & CHANEL(É); A girl wearing la baba* pretends to come from a rich family.
This print is part of the second instalment of Neals Niat’s series “Mapanes Love”, a sequence of his artistic project “Life Scenes” which began in 2018.
Typical of his graphic art style, Neals blends a mosaic of monochrome and pastel colours to showcase scenes of the love stories of three couples. Offering a critique of society, the series questions how societal influences and external pressures affect relationships, as each couple is confronted with a potential conflict.
