Brazilian plastic artist launches collection inspired by a song from the band Aerosmith


The “Pink Obsession” collection, by Karla Bratfisch, will be one of the Artexpo New York 2013’s highlights


Inspired by the song “Pink”, by the american band Aerosmith, the plastic artist Karla Bratfisch will be releasing the “Pink Obsession” collection in one of the main art events of the world: the Artexpo New York. At first, even without the presence of Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford, the Museum will be the stage of a visual concert with colors that will be like Steven Tyler’s voice. Instead of his high notes, there will be a melody of intense shades ready to reverberate everywhere.

Released in 1997, in the album called “Nine Lives”, the first verses of the song express Karla’s every single feeling, which can be seen through the eyes of the ones who observe the pieces: “Pink it’s my new obsession. Pink it’s not even a question. Pink on the lips of your lover, because Pink is the love you discover”.

According to the artist, while she created the pieces, the song was constantly on repeat. “Even listening to it on and on, it always felt like the first time. Every word sang was a flick, which slowly, got a shape in the still white canvas”, remembers Karla.

The “Pink Obsession” series was designed using a mixed technique with acrylic on fabric. The pieces will be on display between March 21st and 24th at Pier 92 in New York (United States). Great artists such as Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana were some of the participants from the previous editions of the Artexpo, which has 34 years of history and tradition in the art’s universe.

The artist
At the age of 20, Karla Bratfisch had already developed nine collections (“Pop Art”, “Devaneios”, “Woodstock”, “Traços Soltos”, “Reestricted”, “Aquarela”, “Caos e Cores”, “Nonsense” e “Pink Obsession”); painted more than 70 pictures and participated in about 50 exhibitions in Brazil and abroad. “My wish is to be able to do this forever, without being concerned about the time”, says the artist.
