Ronald McDonald gets Super Sized

Ron English promotes propaganda through his art works, encouraging the public to take a good hard look at many of the things that we take for granted. In the piece shown below, English portrays the Ronald McDonald mascot as an overweight clown. This is a comment on the obesity epidemic that is currently taking place in America, pointing a very chubby, super sized finger at McDonalds food as a direct cause of the weight problems.

Death by French Fries

In the documentary film, Supersize Me, Morgan Spurlock conducted an experiment to determine the life span of McDonalds menu items. The McDonalds french fry was portrayed as being near immortal, barely degrading even though weeks had passed. Though the artist’s intention with the food art work below is not clear, there is a definite link between the seemingly innocent french fry and death. Perhaps the message is that McDonald’s french fries are so far from being organic that the food itself is dead.

Chewing Gum Pavement Art

Chewing gum is found on pavements all over the world. Once chewed, the gum is spat out and stepped on by pedestrians. This process leaves behind a flattened piece of chewing gum that provides the perfect canvas for gum artists. The photo series below shows Ben Wilson, chewing gum artist, at work. He carefully paints each piece of chewing gum with tiny brushes and bright colors, creating a miniature masterpiece that is both fun and psychedelic. This form of street art verges on reverse graffiti; the art of turning the city’s dirt into something attractive.

Recycling Food as an Art Form

Canadian gum artist Jason Kronenwald doesn’t chew bubble gum himself unless he has to. Instead of chewing the gum himself, he has a dedicated team of chewers. Kronenwald’s art is referred to as Gum Blondes, and are portraits of celebrities rendered in chewing gum.  The soft, chewed gum hardens as it dries, and has a shiny finish to it. Kronenwald’s celebrity fan art portraits include Madonna, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Marilyn Monroe and Jessica Simpson.

Recycling bubble gum and chewing gum as art is thought of as being a “green” or “eco-friendly” practice, because the gum isn’t thrown away after being chewed.
