Description Surrealist Portrait, Oil on Canvas - 61x91cm.

Corporations, benevolently bending down to us, like gods, selling themselves in order to get our money. Sometimes the product they sell is extremely unhealthy and is detrimental to our health. KFC, MacDonald’s, Red Rooster, Hungry Jacks, Crispy Crème Donuts, Burger King, Donut King, Nando’s, Pizza Hut, Pizza Haven. – Just to name a few of course. They’re in our TV, Radio, Internet, Phones, Newspapers, busses, Trains, Trams and Cars. They’re everywhere – all around us – omniscient. They’re inside our heads with jingles and toys. Reaching down to touch all the children like a paedophilic priest. Belief and faith in the consumerist gods. Society’s Opiate is fast-food. Society’s epidemic is obesity.

This is a folio piece for my end of year exhibition in Oct. My third and final oil painting of my total folio work, this is perhaps the most technically proficient piece I've done - which Isn't saying much lol.

- Full view for detail.

This painting is for sale! - [link]

Please crit and comment!


Cheers!

Hi There!
You have just earned yourself an O.D.D.(^oibyrd 's daily devs) feature!! congrats!!!
O.D.D.S are to honor the sometimes overlooked artists of dA that I personally think deserve some exposure and also, to introduce the more popular artists to the new/overlooked deviants. I prefer to showcase ALL artwork that I love (and that includes popular artists with a fair amount of traffic to their work) in order to create a non-biased feature of the talent on dA. *PLZ DO KEEP IN MIND - some of the features are quite popular and obviously don't need extra help - however - I enjoy posting them because they inspire other artists. Please click the link below to see your work featured and to view other featured artists . If you prefer not to be a featured artist, just send me a note and I will remove you from the list. Cheers! Sandi xoxo

The message is clearly visible but it's also got humour....which is my preferred way (if one paints something with a message like that)...

Wonderful! Tell me your thought process on how you designed the skull - I find its form interesting. Its a powerful statement of our society.

The thought process of the skull (I'm soooo glad you said skulll!) - That came to me when i was doing anatomical drawing late last year. - I found the thing i liked in portraying the grim and decidedly dark nature of people in that way. - It jsut sorta stuck! ^___^ Thanks Roubs!
