Description

I painted “Super-Sized Lunch” in the summer of 2012. I approached this transformer project with modern sculpture intentions. I looked to Claes Oldenburg’s ordinary household objects as “heros”, Marcel Duchamp’s humor filled “ready-mades” and even modern graffiti artists – when done well – they ask the viewer to see everyday objects in new ways. I chose to make a cheeky presentation in the vein of modern art’s “ordinary objects as extraordinary” theme. Did someone super-duper, super-sized their meal and forgotten it in the parking lot? No, but what fun we’ll all have enjoying this modern art for many years and without calorie-filled guilt!
