Original artwork description:

'A coke is a coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking.All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.' Andy Warhol once said.

Coca Cola is one of the most recognizable brands in the world. To me they're a symbol of consumerism in our globalized age of corporation culture. It's well worth the time to stand still at what this all means like the figure does on my painting.

Materials used:

Acrylic on masonite
