This work, created by the artist HÖK , is an explosion of colors, symbols and cultural references that fits into the urban pop art style. The work features a character inspired by the iconography of the Joker, famous for his exaggerated smile and vibrant colors. This character is often used to represent concepts such as duality, madness or social criticism. Elements of pop culture can be seen, including the iconic Coca-Cola logo, which symbolises consumer society and globalisation. Words and phrases like "Love is a game," "Power to the People," and "Love" add a textual dimension, prompting the viewer to reflect on love, power, and ideals. The palette is dominated by bright, saturated colors: red, blue, green, yellow, and pink, typical of pop art. Techniques include paint splashes, graffiti, and overlays, creating an energetic and chaotic effect. Black lines reinforce the contours of the character and give visual structure to the work. The style evokes a fusion between Warhol's pop art and modern street art influences. The use of brands like Coca-Cola and popular cultural figures highlights a critique or reflection on the omnipresence of media and capitalism in our daily lives. In short, this work by Hök is a provocative homage to contemporary culture, combining urban art and pop symbolism. It challenges societal themes while captivating with its visual energy.

Sonic & Mario Best Friends is a unique pop art work by the artist HÖK , which captures the vibrant and energetic essence of two video game icons: Sonic and Mario. Painted on a 100 cm by 100 cm square canvas, this work mixes acrylic and spray paint techniques to create a striking visual effect. The background of the canvas is an explosion of vibrant colors, where geometric patterns and dynamic splashes evoke the energy of the 80s, an iconic period for video games. Sonic, the blue hedgehog, is depicted in a dynamic pose, ready to run at full speed. Mario, with his famous smile and red cap, is placed in front of Sonic, creating a striking contrast between the two iconic characters. The artwork's bright, saturated colors are reminiscent of retro Sega and Nintendo console screens, with shades of electric blue, bright red, and touches of yellow and neon green. The characters' outlines are accentuated by the use of spray paint, giving a blurry, moving effect that accentuates the sense of speed and action. This unique work, at the crossroads of the worlds of Sega and Nintendo, pays tribute to the cultural impact of these two legendary figures while being part of the pop art tradition with a contemporary touch.
