Dan Colen is an artist who appropriates the codes of Street Culture and Pop Art to contaminate and distort our perception of the ordinary and the everyday. He makes use of poor materials (natural or disposable) in his multidisciplinary work, in order to transform them into contemplative, well-crafted artworks. The M&Ms series, begun in 2012, is made using real stones, painted in the bright colours of the famous sweets. The series can be said to monumentalize a simple, almost universal pleasure.
