Carolina Falkholt paints phalluses gorgeously.
She goes under the pseudonym Blue. She describes her art as grafitta, which is a play of two words: graffiti, and fitta, Swedish for pussy.
Carolina’s art is multimodal; she expresses herself through spray paint, collage, sculpture, performance, film and music. The presence of body, language, and sexuality in her work tells a beautiful story of human existence in space and color. Her pussy paintings are loud and unapologetic. As they should be.
When a big red penis appeared on a wall in the Lower East Side, on Christmas Eve, it was painted over in a day. It made residents feel uncomfortable.
They should consider what it is they are so upset about and then talk about it […] Sex is so important, but it’s always been too dirty to discuss,
By painting over her piece of art, the landlords in NYC shut down an opportunity to have their building instigate conversations about bodies, sexuality (including the broken pieces of it), and expression. Destruction ensued.
Uncomfortably quiet silence describes the dialogue we’re trying (not) to have in our societies right now. This results in divisions and anger. Let’s talk. Phalluses can help.
