Classic Still Life Paintings; Only the Food is Wrapped in Plastic
by twistedsifter
“Not Longer Life” reinterprets and reproduces paintings from classic masters such as Monet or Caravaggio, contextualizing them in the current situation, as if they were contemporary artists.
The series was done by architectural rendering firm Quatre Caps, who wanted to highlight what they see as an ‘absurd’ amount of plastic wrapping and food packaging on produce and food products at our supermarkets:
“This series intends to reflect about the direction that the consumer society is taking and the unconscious attitude we are taking about the natural resources in pursuit of an utmost and absurd comfort usually misunderstood as progress, welfare or luxury.”
