Love Hurts Supply

This piece is from Charlotte Rose’s 2022 London show, Too Much of A Good Thing, which was sponsored by Enter Gallery. The show explores the clever artistry of classic branding that’s responsible for building culture, law and nostalgia.

In Love Hurts, Rose portrays a love sick Bart Simpson, mesmerised by the messages surrounding love that have been pedalled to us since we were kids. Rose explains:

‘I’m interested in how, as time progresses and the population awakens to the hidden dangers of products once portrayed as their friend, the branding and the culture around it begin to fall away.’
