ABOUT THIS WORK

"Long Live Love" by Fringe captures the paradox of strength and vulnerability through an unexpected tableau: Superman, the emblem of invincibility, sits smiling in an electric chair. This striking imagery invites viewers to reflect on the duality of existence. The electric chair, often associated with pain and finality, contrasts sharply with Superman’s unyielding smile, symbolizing an inner resilience that transcends physical limitations.

Fringe’s intention is clear: amidst the chaos and weight of the world, love serves as an unwavering force. Superman’s serene expression embodies the idea that love provides the strength to confront adversity and declare independence from despair. The artwork speaks to the magic that love brings, encouraging us to embrace it wholeheartedly, even when life feels overwhelming.

As viewers engage with this piece, they are prompted to remember that love is not just a fleeting emotion but a powerful catalyst for defiance against life’s challenges. In a world often overshadowed by turmoil, "Long Live Love" celebrates the ability to rise above, to say “FUCK YOU” to negativity, and to let love flood our hearts with hope and joy. - FRINGE
