Golden bread fractures
Paris sips in four moments
Simple feast, refined
A four-panel pop cubist poster celebrates the iconic Parisian jambon-beurre. Each quadrant pairs the sandwich with a distinct drink—wine, soda, juice—set against geometric, vibrant backdrops. Crisp textures and bold contours elevate everyday food into a stylized urban ritual.
Artistic Statement:
This work merges pop modern ukiyo-e with lowbrow cubist poster aesthetics, transforming a humble sandwich into a cultural emblem. Through flat color planes, textured grain, and sharp white contours, it celebrates repetition and variation—echoing both commercial print heritage and modernist abstraction.
Influences:
The influence is structural and conceptual: Fernand Léger shapes the industrial clarity and object emphasis; Matisse informs color blocks and harmony; Roy Lichtenstein drives contour stylization; Hokusai anchors the flat compositional logic; Paul Klee introduces playful geometry and rhythm. Depth: strong synthesis rather than citation.
