Garfield loves cigar

Dimensions: 109 × 81 cm

With Garfield loves cigar, Eddy Vitalone reinterprets one of pop culture’s most recognizable characters through a bold, ironic and highly expressive composition. The familiar cartoon figure is transformed into a more urban and provocative icon, combining humor, pop imagery and street-art energy.

Garfield dominates the composition in a close-up portrait, immediately capturing the viewer’s attention. His half-closed eyes, mischievous smile and cigar create a confident, laid-back and slightly rebellious attitude. The vivid palette — orange, red, yellow and black — gives the work a strong visual impact, while the splashes of paint in the background bring movement, spontaneity and raw energy.

The white frame becomes part of the artwork itself, covered with colorful paint projections that extend the pictorial gesture beyond the central image. This creates a dynamic dialogue between the character and its surroundings, giving the piece a contemporary and expressive presence.

Blending nostalgia, cartoon culture and urban aesthetics, Eddy Vitalone creates a work that is playful, powerful and instantly memorable. Garfield loves cigar is an ideal piece for collectors drawn to contemporary pop art, street-art influences and artworks with a strong visual identity.
