Todd Goldman takes the familiar gold digger stereotype and strips away any pretence that this romance is about personality. The electric blue figure against the deep black background gives the painting a bold Pop Art punch, while the tiny diamond ring delivers the joke with perfect simplicity. Todd’s blunt lettering and deliberately cheeky caption turn money, dating and desire into one shamelessly funny transaction. Love might be priceless, but she’d still like to see the bank statement first.
