PRIL FLOWER

The art­work “PRIL FLOWER” ref­er­ences the iconic styl­ized blos­som that became a cult symbol of the 1970s. Over­lap­ping cir­cles create an abstract bloom in shades of blue, its center shin­ing bright­ly. The pared-down design nods to pop cul­ture, every­day aes­thet­ics, and shared nos­tal­gia. “PRIL FLOWER” is a homage to the era’s design—a symbol of light­ness and joie de vivre, and of a play­ful engage­ment with form and color. “PRIL FLOWER” is part of the art series “Blue in a Square”, which includes 300+ artworks.

When little things still made a big difference.

On bed­room doors, fridges, desks, win­dows, walls, door frames, mir­rors, school exer­cise books – no place was safe from these stick­ers. The Pril flow­ers were so cov­et­ed that argu­ments kept break­ing out among chil­dren over who was the right­ful owner of the new Pril flow­ers, just to stick them in the spot that would attract the most atten­tion. Look­ing at the design of the Pril flower today, you can really only shake your head. But that’s how it was back then. And par­ents hardly had the option of buying an alter­na­tive prod­uct, because there was no way a mother could come home with­out Pril flow­ers. That would have been as bad as Nutel­la sub­sti­tutes or sports shoes with only two stripes.

Mar­ket­ing aimed at chil­dren, which placed par­ents under a kind of com­pul­sion to buy, was born. The Pril stick­ers were the begin­ning. After all, par­ents them­selves had no use for them.
