Golden Arches

This artwork is part of the series “No Artificial Colours”, where the familiar sight of everyday object is transformed, using unexpected and striking colours. This artwork plays on the burger chains nick name; “The Golden Arches” . The gold recontextualisation the fast food and presents a new connection for the audience to discover. The combination becomes a contradiction and “statue-ize” the fast food and put it on a pedestal. It can also symbolize the gilded surface masking what lies undernight.

The series title “No Artificial Colours” refers to the common use of artificial substances in products for human consumption, as well as genetically modified food.

The suggestive images invite the viewer to further explore and imagine, without condemning the matter.
