The artwork entitled “POSSESSIVE, OBSESSIVE, IN LOVE” was created by the artist Frank Willems in the year 2020. This creation utilizes mediums such as acrylic and pastel on wood, and measures 39.4 by 39.4 inches. It can be classified under the genre painting category and associates with the pop art movement.
The artwork is characterized by bold and vivid visuals, which is typical of the pop art genre, known for its striking, array of colors and commercial culture themes. The central figure is a dog, depicted with a stylized appearance, looking up towards a dangling price tag. Below the dog, one can observe the presence of human legs dressed with red socks and sneakers. The floor features a grid-like pattern, contributing to the dynamic composition.
Overlying the backdrop and figures are large, white, painted letters spelling the words “POSSESSIVE,” “OBSESSIVE,” and “IN LOVE,” which are prominently disrupted by the elements in the scene, indicating a playful or ironic integration of text with imagery. The expression of the dog and the price tag suggest themes related to consumerism, ownership, or perhaps a metaphorical representation of personal relationships, hinting at a commentary on modern social or emotional constructs.
