The work (Untitled 2012) is also in a similar fashion to Banksy. This was an etch I printed prior to adding the Coca-Cola can on top using acrylic paint.
The reason I chose the Coca-Cola can was because of its representation of the capitalism of the American way of life.
Coca-Cola used Polar bears in their advertising campaigns.
This I wanted to portray in the finished work, I wanted the viewer to see some irony to the work.
What I mean by this is that we all know that Coca-Cola is a huge manufacturer; therefore they produce huge amounts of pollution into the atmosphere.
Polar bears are affected by global warming and because of this are becoming almost extinct.
This is why I found it ironic that Coca-Cola would use Polar bears in their adverts for the cute factor. Also the Coca-Cola can have been used a lot in famous American Pop Art through history.
