Follow Me 

"Follow Me" is a vibrant piece of pop art made by Romero Britto. Born in Brazil, Britto's work is known for its optimistic and colorful representation of modern life. Here, a couple is depicted in a joyful dance, rendered with the flat planes and bold outlines reminiscent of pop art. But look closer, and you might see how gender roles are represented in their dance. The woman holds flowers, while the man extends a single rose as if leading her. Britto’s work offers a vision of a world without shadows, a world of happiness and shared experience. "Art is too important not to share" - that’s what Britto says. But I wonder, who is invited to this world and who is not? As you stand here, consider the emotional and personal impact of Britto's art. Does the simplicity and exuberance of this piece successfully reflect a modern, diverse world? Or does it flatten important cultural differences?
