No to war. His new installation, entitled \u2018Utopia of Mud. Sashimi of Mist\u2019, will be presented on 19 September at the Mir\u00f3 Mallorca Foundation, and promises to leave no one indifferent.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"863\">Twelve hanging sculptures, one powerful statement<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"865\" data-end=\"1237\">The installation features <strong data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"923\">twelve masked sculptures<\/strong>, suspended from <strong data-start=\"940\" data-end=\"964\">swings made of thorns<\/strong>, evoking the fragility of political discourse in the face of the real pain of war. Through this powerful image, Grip Face denounces the <strong data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1141\">institutional hypocrisy of Europe<\/strong> in the face of armed conflict: \u201cWhile it promises peace, it does nothing to achieve it,\u201d he states.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1497\">As in all his work, Grip Face\u2019s visual language blends codes from <strong data-start=\"1313\" data-end=\"1325\">graffiti<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1352\">Japanese animation<\/strong>, and the <strong data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1377\">skateboarding world<\/strong>, in an aesthetic that appeals both to emotion and critique.
