"Sweetness" is far more than an art exhibition; it's a whimsical commentary on love as seen through the lens of candy. Stoffel, known for his unique fusion of pop culture and art, has masterfully crafted this series using nostalgic candies that tug at heartstrings. From conversation hearts that convey raw emotion to wax bottles and old-fashioned candy sticks that evoke light-hearted joy, each piece in "Sweetness" tells a story of affection and delight.
Stoffel, who recently wowed the art world with his "iCon" exhibit in Chelsea, was thrilled when approached by Dylan's Candy Bar for this joint venture. He remarked, "I couldn't think of anything more exciting to create! The color, the texture, the fun that candy presented so intrigued me that when Dylan proposed the project, I jumped at the chance."
