About The Artwork
The 'created paradise' of the swimming pool acts as the definitive allure to the consumer during the choice of one holiday resort over another. The use of white paint over the brochure page isolates the pool as the focus of the composition. This highlights the qualities of this manmade environment - which mimic the natural - but allow the consumer to exist in a state of 'paradise feeling' without any interruption from nature. The desired perfection of the holiday resort is linked to the demand for ‘things’. The consumer society in which we live and the aspiration for luxury goods, lifestyle and status, alongside the need to retreat from the pressures of the 21st century create demand for the ‘paradise feeling’ which is, in effect, what holiday brochures are selling us.
