Two iconic silhouettes hold each other in an embrace amid a background treated like a city wall covered in colorful traces. John Beckley creates tension between the highly legible drawing of the characters, with their sharp black outlines and bold flat areas, and a rich background of splashes, projections and circular movements. The white gloves, yellow shoes and large pink bow stand out against this whirlwind of purples, blues and oranges, reinforcing the sensation of a scene frozen at the heart of the turmoil. The small dark drips and white spots give the whole a rhythmic quality, evoking a kiss in the middle of an urban fireworks display.
