The Poison Apple (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Ross Hendrick

Snow White and the Poison Apple

In this piece, the iconic fairytale princess is reimagined through a bold, satirical pop art lens. Holding the infamous poison apple—now reshaped into the unmistakable logo of the tech giant Apple—Snow White becomes a symbol of innocence entangled with modern consumerism. The apple appears to melt in her hand, a nod to decay beneath the surface of glossy desire.

Set against a vibrant, graffiti-style background bursting with color and energy, the painting collides nostalgia with contemporary critique. Spray-painted textures and drips evoke urban street art, while the classic 1937 Disney depiction of Snow White contrasts sharply with the edgy modern context. This clash invites the viewer to reflect on themes of temptation, technology, and the commodification of innocence.

With its striking visuals and ironic twist, the piece captures the spirit of pop art—playful, provocative, and deeply rooted in the iconography of its time.
