by Arno Coenen
In Little Angels, Arno Coenen blends classical design with playful contemporary elements. Set against the traditional blue-and-white porcelain pattern, a group of cherubs joyfully interacts with an unexpected object—a Heineken beer can, spilling a vibrant stream of rainbow-colored gummy worms. The cherubs, in a lively scene of celebration, wrap themselves in the colorful sweets, their playful energy contrasting with the vintage aesthetic of the plate.
This whimsical work brings together the sacred and the everyday, the classical and the modern, offering a lighthearted yet thought-provoking commentary on indulgence and celebration in contemporary culture. Coenen’s artistic mastery lies in his ability to merge these diverse elements into a cohesive, delightful narrative.
