"Corona Extra"
Posted by sabine7 Pop Culture | Jul 10, 2005

The jigsaw puzzles and collages created by Louis Cameron are brightly coloured plays on branding. For one series of work, Cameron weaves together product labels or does geometric patterning with candy wrappers. His jigsaw puzzles are more subtle, as Cameron concentrates solely on the colours found in any given brand’s advertising or labeling. Cameron allows the viewer to take a closer look at consumerism, from some new angles, literally bringing the advertising to an art form. Tongue in cheek, or our consumer habits served up over easy?

Gum Blondes

No standing on the corner, chewing bubblegum for Jason Kronenwald, the Toronto artist who creates pop cultured portraits out of masticated gum and plywood. He leaves the chewing to other, more eager mouths, freeing himself up for the forty to fifty hours necessary for each portrait. No paints or dyes are used: all colour mixing takes place behind closed mouths and the only tools needed for the application of the medium, other than a Swiss Army knife and a plastic roller, are fingers and thumbs. The final product is sealed in epoxy resin. Gum Blondes is the name of his series which includes Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Brigitte Bardot. From bubble gum pop to bubble gum pop culture.

The Incredible Edna Mode

I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks. I love Edna Mode, the pint-sized fashion designer to superheroes, in Disney’s The Incredibles. An amalgam of Edith Head, Karl Lagerfeld and Rei Kawakubo, Edna Mode emerges as the flick’s true hero to many of its (fashionista) viewers. Edna Mode is a distillation of art, fashion, animation and pop culture, dahling. This is one incredible camp icon that will be around for a while.

Still Life at the Dover Street Market

Do not try this at home. It will never be as perfect as Irving Penn’s version. Instead, spend your time in checking out his book, Still Life, to be found upstairs at London’s version of a Colette, Rei Kawakubo’s Dover Street Market. Sure, it’s trendy, sure it’s flavour of the last few months. But where else can you spend 40 quid on a t-shirt from a vending machine?
