Love expressed through art in unexpectedly poignant ways<\/span><\/h3>\n

Love is a universal theme that has been explored in art since antiquity. Contemporary artistic representations of love are not always easy to decipher so to celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day this year, we are delving into several pieces that touch on this multifaceted emotion in unexpectedly poignant ways.<\/p>\n

Felix Gonzales-Torres\u2019 conceptual piece, Untitled (Perfect Lovers) explores the act of being in love as well as love\u2019s imperfect nature. Two clocks placed side-by-side work in perfect synchronization and their continuous ticking represents a shared heartbeat. Slowly over time, they fall out of sync and, eventually, their batteries die before being re-set to begin the process once again. Torres\u2019 work metaphorically represents his own personal relationship with his partner who tragically died of AIDS. The clocks speak to the harrowing feeling of running out of time. The gradual falling out of sequence, and ultimate malfunction evokes devastating loss.<\/p>\n

\nJohn Baldessari, Valentine, 2015, 38 \u00d7 34 inches, edition of 50<\/p>\n

In John Baldessari\u2019s 2015 screenprint Valentine, the artist inscribes an arrow on a pre-existing fashion photograph of supermodel Kendall Jenner. The arrow represents Cupid\u2019s signature accessory that the fictitious character uses to strike people and, in turn, makes them fall in love unexpectedly. Baldessari\u2019s graffiti is at once playful and strategic, as the arrow strikes through Jenner\u2019s bodice that is contoured by her garment\u2019s neckline in a way that makes it resemble a heart shape.<\/p>\n

\nLouise Bourgeois, 10 am is When You Come to Me, 2008, 98 x 108 inches, Tate Museum<\/p>\n

Louise Bourgeois\u2019 piece, 10 AM is When You Come to Me, portrays a series of hands rendered in different tones of red that are continuously reaching towards each other in space. The hands belong to Bourgeois and her assistant Jerry Gorovoy, whom she trusted and loved deeply. The colour red evokes the warmth, passion and emotional intensity of their love. The piece\u2019s title refers to the time of the morning when Gorovoy would arrive at the artist\u2019s studio to commence their workday together.<\/p>\n

Unlike artworks such as Auguste Rodin\u2019s famous sculpture The Kiss, Robert Indiana\u2019s widely recognized pop LOVE images or Jim Dine\u2019s signature hearts, the pieces discussed evoke the theme of love in more conceptual and obscure ways that may take a bit more time and effort to fully comprehend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
