Appetite for the Artificial
Acrylic on canvas · Pop Art
A vivid Pop Art tableau centers on a glamorous pale-haired woman whose face is interrupted by a grinning skull and FDA-style emblem. Branded snacks, soda, cereal, condiments, fruit, and processed foods crowd around her like a commercial halo, while fragmented warning phrases and hand-painted lettering fill the background. The tightly packed composition and exaggerated packaging create a sharp satirical portrait of mass consumption, with the polished face set against deliberately abrasive visual clutter.
