FLOSIDE HAHA Painting

KEEPIN IT FRESH SINCE 1988 Tuhutzs is the artistic name for Karl Bauer. Born England, UK 04/07/1988. Artist Statement It is practically impossible not to produce some form of waste multiple times per day from something you interact with or consume. The bins that stray our planet in all possible places, in a variety of style and colours lay open a view displaying a relationship with our planet. As our civilisation opens its doors to the information age. I feel the food we buy is killing us, the water is bottled in plastic. The ultimate need to consume is laid bare. Import, export, the seas run full of cargo ships. As we flood our planet with products and packaging we blame “you”. The notion “be brave” represents a positive message in the physical and mental struggle that we face today. A bin has never been as cool as it is now. As the Chinese develop new ambitious infrastructure throughout South America, opening new shipping canals and trade deals as the BRF Belt and Road Forum, we can see a new carving of globalisation reaching further out changing the worlds shape. As products, choices and options begin to fill the shelves of developing nations, the unconscious need for bins, their stability and functionality, will have to match the phase of an advancing individual demand for more. We are not to blame for having been flooded with excess packaging, one use items, pre packed, processed living. In the western world our choices exceed that of developing worlds. We are victims of design, choice, private profiteering and unstable global management. We all require basic food and water, but do we really need the thousands of options and designs, left solely upon an end choice that is, what can you afford to buy.
