TWO PINKS. TWO STORIES.
Browsing the Brussels Art Fair, I found this work by Pinchas Burstein aka Maryan S. Maryan. The pink color hooked me. A very particular pink: familiar, recognizable and, at the same time, rather scary.
Scary, but not aggressive.
Two pseudonyms: Philip Guston (born Phillip Goldstein) and Maryan S. Maryan (born Pinchas Burstein), two lives with lots of pain in them. Guston and Burstein both picked this peculiar pink to transform the pain within and outside them, as an eerie and deceitfully sedating outlet for emotional release.
