Detailed description
Picture "Please" (2024)
"Please" by Nicole Leidenfrost is a fascinating fusion of classical art and modern pop art. It depicts Albrecht Dürer's "Praying Hands" in vibrant colors such as red, blue and yellow. The lettering "Please" in the background plays a central role and opens up several levels of meaning. On the one hand, it symbolizes politeness and humility; on the other, it criticizes consumer society and material greed. The implied, incomplete sentence "Please... give me more money" invites the viewer to fill the gap, which reinforces the message of the artwork. "Please" is a visually appealing and profound reflection on human needs and desires that encourages us to reflect on our own priorities and values.
