Sweet illness of mine, 50 x 60 cm, 2024, Acrylics and wall paint on canvas

The artwork “Sweet Illness of Mine” by Abel Kabel portrays three faceless figures standing closely together, looking directly at the observer. Their striking yellow eyes, more reminiscent of animal eyes than humans, create an unsettling and otherworldly effect. True to Abel Kabel’s distinctive style, the piece incorporates fragments of text scattered across the canvas, featuring phrases like “Sprite,” “almost empty,” and “Sapporo.” This cryptic language invites interpretation and adds layers of meaning to the work. Inspired by the song “Sweet Illness of Mine” by Lifelover, Kabel’s artwork explores the haunting sensation of feeling trapped in illness and longing for escape, blending raw emotion with surreal symbolism.
