SHOOT, DON’T TALK

Roman features in his piece the iconic closing sentence “When you have to shoot, shoot; don’t talk” from the renowned spaghetti western movie, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” This memorable scene depicts the three main characters engaging in a three-way duel, with the novel introducing the phrase alongside the beloved cartoon character, Lucky Luke – known for his unmatched speed and wisdom as a gunslinger. Lucky Luke’s character is multi-faceted, encompassing various layers, including his kindness and good fortune, which is reflected in his name. Despite his benevolent nature, Lucky often found himself in difficult situations, much like the characters portrayed in the film, further adding depth to the closing sentence chosen by the artist. The artist, who often blurs the line between childhood and adulthood through his use of cartoon characters, manages to do so with great finesse, providing his works with a sense of profoundness. While the character of Lucky Luke is typically featured in adventures based on true stories, the artist presents him in a magical and graceful manner. The artist holds a strong emotional connection to the figure from his early years, believing that it brings him good luck. Original artwork. Wood with acrylic, spray paint, and varnish 116×113 cm
