""It's about some whimsy, joy, mysteriousness, quirkiness and the artist Philippe Katerine from France has really embodied this,""
""Mr. Pink,""
""cuteism.""
The installation called 'Mr. Pink' places ten pink sculptures at nine locations across Manhattan's Flatiron District and NoMad neighborhoods. The figures appear on rooftops and in public spaces to introduce color and playful surprise. The project centers on 'cuteism,' which emphasizes whimsy, joy, mysteriousness, and quirkiness. The artist Philippe Katerine from France designed variations of the figure. Some sculptures are cast in resin while others are inflatable. Several of the figures include a scar on the chest as a symbolic nod to vulnerability and the human experience. The works function as a public art intervention that blends delight with introspection.
