If you love your fries and Big Mac as much as we love ours, you will definitely enjoy the fast food inspired artworks in Hong Kong-based artist Catherine Grossrieder‘s upcoming solo exhibition.
Entitled “Fast Taste,” the exhibition, which will be held at Over The Influence, a permanent gallery space on Hollywood Road in Hong Kong, will be featuring a series of 15 new and celebrated canvas works that are filled with the cartoon renderings of food objects such as fried chicken, pizza and burgers.
These bold coloured artworks combine a blend of 80s Hip Hop aesthetics whilst infusing the artist’s signature sense of humour and subversive surrealism.
In doing so, she has created a playful-yet-compelling commentary on the urban myths and stigmas surrounding fast food – one that delves on man’s ecstasy when evoked by junk food, and contrasting that against the media and social influencers’ fixation on staying healthy.
