Human nature

A series of works on paper representing portraits of a plant and animals found in the human food chain. With reference to the Dutch tradition in paintings of landscapes with domestic animals, these paintings depict the many varieties of cows, chickens, pigs and turkeys that have been bred by humans over the last centuries. Some animals have been genetically modified, to enhance yields or increase resistance to disease. As a metaphor for a global consumerism phenomenon, vintage McDonald's paper disposables are used as canvases for the portraits.
