4$ Coffee
“The drawing titled “4$ Coffee” by Gimiro is a powerful and provoking artwork that depicts a man sitting outside a café. The man is wearing a double-breasted peak lapel suit with an open collar, and he is sitting with his legs crossed in a calm and collected manner. However, upon closer inspection, it is clear that something is terribly wrong with him. His face has been completely disfigured as a result of a gunshot wound, and the image is both haunting and unsettling.
The man’s disfigured face is the focal point of the drawing, and it is incredibly detailed and realistic. The damage caused by the gunshot is visible on his face, with parts of his skin and flesh missing, leaving a grotesque and unsettling sight. Despite the severity of his injuries, the man seems to be composed and unfazed, as if he is resigned to his fate. The contrast between his calm demeanor and the horror of his injuries is both striking and disturbing.
The man is seated at a table, and there is a cup of coffee in front of him. The title of the drawing, “4$ Coffee,” is a provocative choice that seems to ignore the severity of the man’s injuries. It suggests that the cost of the coffee is more important than the tragedy that has befallen the man.”
