Original artwork description:

An artwork from my "Back in NYC" series - an oil painting capturing a plastic bag adorned with the iconic KFC logo. This artwork delves into the heart of pop art, celebrating the unique transformation of everyday objects, while also prompting reflection on environmental impact.

During my explorations in New York City, I couldn't help but notice the prevalence in the food industry of non-biodegradable plastic bags and glasses, and, as a European visitor, it struck me how unfamiliar these objects were in comparison to the more environmentally friendly options back home.

In this painting, I aim to juxtapose the familiarity of the KFC logo with the environmental concerns raised by its packaging. While these bags serve a practical purpose, they also underscore the broader issue of single-use plastics and their lasting impact on our planet.

Through the lens of pop art, I seek to shed light on this dichotomy - transforming a mundane object into a thought-provoking piece of art that prompts us to consider our consumer choices and their environmental repercussions.
