THE PEOPLE’s BACON (2024)

Acrylic on canvas.

100% quality pork…from sick pigs. Do you know what you’re eating?

A satirical painting done in the style of a vintage poster, advertising “farm fresh” bacon. The irony is in the promotion of “100% quality” next to the image of a sick pig. This is representative of a lot of the misleading marketing of mass-produced meats. Most companies attempt to hide the realities of the product they are selling, leading consumers to believe they’re buying good meat when the majority of meat sold in grocery stores comes from poorly treated animals in factory farms.
