About this artwork
The subject of this painting's trauma relates to his time in Stockholm. It left him feeling empty, lonely, scared, haunted. It is this feeling of alienation and paranoia that Andy sought to capture with an image based on Sergels Torg. This is an area next to Stockholm’s Central Station which in the 1990s was notorious for the drug trade.
These grey and oppressive streets are then contrasted with a colourful and vibrant image of a couple dancing the… Salsa. The bright colours represent the liberation he found amidst the Salsa bars and pubs of South Kensington, London.
