No Picnick, 2019
Blandteknik
100 x 100 cm
Here I combine popular imagery taken from the (booming) US in the late 40's and early 50's depicting a "happy" family blissfully picnicking whilst an atom bomb explodes in the background.
One of around 50 unique mixed media pieces forming my "Monkey Brain" collection.
My use of the Monkey's face as an iconic figure is a reaction to the "Dime a dozen" versions of all the predictable and repeated Monroes, Trumps, Bowies etc... that seem to be inescapable in contemporary pop art today. In line with that, is the stealth take over of the "Monkey Brain" in the day to day decision making of humans today in all cultural, financial and political classes.
The surface material used for this peice is X-Board - a re-enforced coated cardboard commonly used for constructing temporary display installations in commercial environments and trade fairs.
