Red, Green, Pink is an oil on canvas piece that delights in the purity of form and colour. Bertolucci isolates three gummies—a heart, a bear, and a pair of cherries—on a clean white background, giving them the presence of sculptural objects. Their shadows glow softly, extending the sweetness beyond their own boundaries.
The artist’s approach merges realism with a playful pop sensibility. Each gummy is painted with a translucence that allows light to pass through, creating gradients of saturated tones that shift between depth and brilliance. The minimal setting draws attention to the intensity of colour, making the work feel both intimate and bold.
The palette focuses on deep reds, pinks, and fresh greens, all layered with subtle tonal variations. These hues suggest not only flavour but also emotional resonance—red for passion, green for freshness, pink for light-hearted joy. By distilling the subject matter into a simple trio, Bertolucci invites us to appreciate the poetry of colour and form in its purest sense.
