Gozo, Flying Pigs and Nun, Mixed Media on Panel, 2024

About This Piece

In this playful and surreal artwork by Gozo, flying purple pigs are seen migrating through a shimmering gold-leaf sky, except for one pig that remains on the ground alongside a nun. This unexpected and humorous scenario unfolds in a beautifully composed landscape, with lush green trees and deep red soil below, creating a stark contrast with the luxurious golden sky. The remaining pig, who has chosen to stay behind, encounters digestive issues, humorously represented by scattered green dots, adding a quirky touch to this otherwise calm scene. The use of mixed media, including recycled materials such as wood veneer, newspaper, and packaging foam, is finished with meticulous detail using gold leaf, creating a striking juxtaposition between the value of the precious materials and the ordinary subject matter. Gozo masterfully combines a whimsical narrative with elements of the surreal, as the nun and her grounded companion share the land while the other pigs take to the skies. The inscription on the back reads: “All pigs migrate with the season except for this one, who chose to stay with the nun. Although they have certain misunderstandings, which cause him digestive issues and result in defecating green balls. And the yews don’t mind.” This playful addition adds depth to the visual narrative, further inviting the viewer into the imaginative and dreamlike world created by Gozo.
