This new Pop Art piece titled after a mythical phrase by singer Pau Dones of the band Jarabe de Palo, “LIVING IS URGENT” conveys a powerful message through vibrant color contrasts and a collage of iconic images. The phrase “LIVING IS URGENT” is displayed in bold, capital letters, each filled with images that draw inspiration from music, pop culture, and magazine covers, especially the iconic Rolling Stone magazine. The words are divided into two distinct color zones, with “LIVING IS” over a green-themed collage and “URGENT” over an orange and red background, creating a sense of visual urgency and movement.
The top half of the piece is dominated by cool green tones, with images of music legends and cultural references, which could symbolize the vibrancy and continued influence of past pop culture. The bottom half, with warmer reds and oranges, evokes energy, passion, and perhaps a hint of rebellion. The combination of these two contrasting zones of color reinforces the urgency of the statement, encouraging viewers to live passionately and in the present.
The work is framed in a clean white frame, which serves to contain the vibrant imagery and focus attention on the central message. This piece encapsulates the dynamic approach of New Pop Art by fusing inspirational text with nostalgic and culturally resonant imagery, urging viewers to reflect on the importance of actively participating in life. The use of iconic imagery from music and popular culture reinforces the message, reminding us that life, like cultural moments, is fleeting and should be seized.
