Happy Hour – two artists one show.

Literally, the term Happy Hour stands for a scheduled time of entertainment, of happiness - synonym of having a good time. As a phrase, Happy Hour is nothing new and one can find literal references of the term since Shakespeare. In fact, in The Merchant of Venice, Lorenzo says to Portia “Fair thoughts and happy hours attend on you.” Of course, Shakespeare wasn’t wishing for discounted cocktails and a two-for-one deal.

It was only in the 1950s in the United States that the term Happy Hour became synonymous with pitchers and appetizers in a suit and tie. Happy Hour, besides being associated with discounted drinking and questionable karaoke choices after your 9 to 5, is actually about collective consumption.

Moving to the 21st century, Samantha Rosenwald and Mona Broschár are offering their viewers a brand-new Happy Hour - an enjoyable time of collective consumption that reveals gluttony and lust. While the artists’ techniques are completely different – Rosenwald neurotically using the unsophisticated medium of coloured pencils and Broschár mixing acrylic and oil achieving a plastic three-dimensionality, yet somehow flat – the outcome of their work is uncannily similar. Both artists enchant the audience, unapologetically feeding viewers bold colours and sensual shapes, which, yet, at a closer look seem repulsive and discomforting. By concentrating intently on the works’, the viewer becomes aware of his/her own repulsing desires and the attractiveness and allure of the figures depicted can turn into something distressing and repellent.
