"I grew up in France - reading American comics, drinking Coca Cola and watching old Westerns. Americana was all the rage, and I fell for it in a big way. When I moved to Tokyo, I also fell in love with their animation and all the different types of soda and soda can designs that were sold in vending machines all over the city. In choosing to paint discarded objects I felt that I was giving them another life. Recycling not only their form, but also their imperfect beauty and the moments they were a part of someone's life." For decades, I have been collecting soda cans that I found during my travels around the world. That Pepsi 70's was found on the road to Las Vegas and was kept in my collection until I decided to make a painting of it. The title of this painting is: "Pepsi 70's" and it was done with acrylic on canvas and it is signed/dated on the back of the canvas. Thank you!

French artist Claude Charlier is known for his hyper-realistic paintings of discarded cigarette packs and crushed soda cans. Charlier was born in France and studied music and fine art for much of his life. He maintained a career as a professional fashion photographer which led him to travel the world for many years and live not only in Europe and the USA, but for many years in Tokyo. It was during these travels that he was inspired by a discarded soda can and decided to create his Rubbish Collection. Charlier’s choice to paint the discarded objects acts as a means to recycle them, and thus the beauty and memories associated with the consumers’ use.
