Free Lunch Series (3 Photographs) by Elliot Black
Framed Photographs. 14 x 11.

Mini Bio: (www.elliotblack.com) Elliot Black graduated from Syracuse University with a BFA in Art Photography in 2005. He has worked with artist Carrie Mae Weems and gallery / book & magazine publisher Aperture Foundation. Currently, he is a freelance photographer & artist based in Brooklyn, NY.

Pop! Pop!: Commercial food photographers use quite a bit of magic to make their products look delicious. These tricks include inedible glues, sprays, and of course photo-retouching. And all to promote something that is from beginning to end unhealthy for us and the environment. Fast food, like shiny cars, are symbols of the duality of American consumerism and ignorance. I have included additional photographs from personal projects and collaborations with other artists that I hope informs this triptych. Free Lunch is the first in a series of similar works.

Check out his views on fast food and have some delicious free cupcakes at the Pop! Pop! Opening. If you are interested in receiving the Preview email, to have the opportunity to purchase the pieces before anyone else, please email us at info@pinkghost.net with PREVIEW as the subject.
