What is Pop in 2020? Cinema, music and comics have already largely had their place in Pop Art. We thought to explore the world of video games and their growing popularity, finding in Fortnite the most Pop of all. The question is: “Is Fortnite the ultimate pop art?”
In the study of the work we were seduced by the colours and the tender but lethal expression of the legendary outfit Cuddle Team Leader (aka Pink Bear), which appeared for the first time in Fortnite on 02/10/2018. Immediately becoming the inspiring legend of an animated miniseries in The Looney Tunes Show style. Pink bear is not new in the popular imagination of our generation, we think of the pink bear floating in Walter White’s pool in the Breaking Bad TV series (to which we dedicated an artwork).
But we didn’t stop at the simple reproduction of a pink bear. As it appears in the making off video, art history has inspired an interesting connection with Saturn devours his children by Goya. So we added a deeper thought: do video games devour our children’s lives? Our non-answer is: get eaten by fun.
