The Devil’s Daughters – Made Up Movie Poster 2020

This imaginary movie poster, 'The Devil’s Daughters' by Robert Sammelin, is dripping with a luminous palette of pink, blue, and green. Imagine the artist working, perhaps digitally, in a state of complete absorption. I love the gestural marks of the bodies, these women emerging out of the darkness. The texture is smooth, creating a seductive surface that lures you into its strange world. Look how the colors blend and contrast, creating an unreal effect. The artist seems to be playing with archetypes of beauty and horror, inviting us to question and reinterpret the story. I think of other artists playing with the grotesque, like Goya or Paula Rego. But there is something distinctly contemporary here. Ultimately, artists are in an ongoing dialogue across time, inspiring and challenging one another. Each artwork embodies a unique perspective and offers a space for open-ended exploration.
