Urban Stags: Mercedes Benz or Nothing
This is a new series of paintings created from found imagery and used city centre billboard posters. One of the billboard posters advertises the luxury brand Mercedes Benz, and in particular feature the company slogan ‘the Best or Nothing’. This slogan perfectly encapsulates the outcome of a stag fight, or of animal mortal combat, where stags will often fight until the strongest wins. Such a correlation suggests the blurring and merging of the urban with the natural environment, something I have become particularly interested in as a result of a move from the city to the country and as such the stark contrast in environments has underpinned an exciting and significant direction for my practice.
