Monster Cereal Triptych Painting

Monster Cereal Triptych is an acrylic painting on three separate canvases that are 36” x 24” each (or 36” x 72” in total). This Americana Pop Art evokes a fun and playful youthfulness rooted in the seasonal, special edition cereal that only makes an appearance around Halloween. The piece monumentalizes the everyday American childhood while recalling a sentimental feeling from yesteryear. The triptych format creates a dichotomy between a modern, popular culture subject within a classical triptych context used during the Medieval and Renaissance periods. A presentation once embraced to illustrate the power of popes and kings is used in a tongue-in-cheek way to declare the importance of one’s childhood nostalgia.
