Trash Day Painting

"Trash Day" is part of my latest series Consumed. This work illustrates the perceived American lifestyle and current mass culture. Directly exhibiting the waste from consumers, while juxtaposing glamours figures that are helping to load their trash. Statement: The Consumed Series is continuous and ever-growing creative concept that illustrates the perceived American lifestyle and current mass culture. These works are a consumer motif, that I define as the contemporary arrangement of people and the synthetic environment they are immersed within. This cultural framework is juxtaposed against symbols and shapes that magnify an objectified culture, reducing figures and possessions to flat objects. These objects and symbols push the viewer to reconcile individual identity as a servant to a lifestyle dictated by advertising images. These works further exaggerate consumer trends by presenting the waste and pollution from degenerate consumer society. My work is an exaggeration of our current society as a mindless pop culture, subjugated by capitalism. I mesh images together to create a dialog, staging graphics and figures to articulate perceived desire. Ultimately creating paintings that appear identical to lifestyle advertisements. Through the construction of these designs, I present neither a positive or negative view but instead an inflated view of American culture. The powerful connection consumers have to material possessions and the consumption of goods to enhance our identity is the artificial setting this body of work manifests.
