Rum & Coke 2003

Camilla d'Errico created this intriguing sculpture, titled 'Rum & Coke,' sometime in the 20th century with what looks like wood and paint. The colours are striking, and the way d’Errico uses lines is so interesting. It’s as if she's inviting us to see how a simple set of colours can play off one another. Looking closely, you'll see how each coloured slat has its own distinct texture, with the paint thickly applied, giving it this tangible quality. I love how the linear progression creates this sense of movement, almost like music being visually represented. The way the colours pop—the bright yellows and reds against the deeper greens and blacks—reminds me of Mondrian, but with a playful, almost punk edge. 'Rum & Coke' shows the energy of colour relations. Art is a continuous conversation, and this piece adds a vibrant voice. It’s not about having a single answer but embracing the multitude of possibilities.
