Fat
Oil Paint and Collage on Board
14" x 21"
This painting shows the midsection of an overweight lady. Her body is recreated here in a somewhat gross manner, inspired by the meat paintings by Chaim Soutine and portraits by Jenny Saville. Within her skin there are etched and cut-out words, which represent the labels associated with overweight people. The letters are cut out of McDonalds packaging to further reinforce this bipolar relationship with food - that on one side, the marketing, appearance and taste is seductive and makes you feel good, but afterwards you are overwhelmed by guilt and feelings of negative body image.
