Beauty Standards Merch

This series has been published in British Feroce Magazine. Do we call something beautiful because we THINK it is beautiful or we are MADE TO THINK it is beautiful? Do we FEEL beauty or do we CONSUME it? We are fed ‘beauty’ via mass media and social networks everyday. It influences our perception and somehow connects beauty with concepts of healthy living, seductive behavior and luxury. In attempt to manifest this conflict, I have taken it to the point of absurdity by placing grotesque things into the ‘beauty’ context. As a result, bringing to light an ironic and surrealist series.

We think cats are adorable, no matter how skinny or fat they are. So why do we treat humans any different?

Gifts for people annoyed with rigid standards of beauty. Sometimes to be proper and beautiful by public opinion, you shave the legs, the pits. The mustache. But for what? THIS?!? What a waste of time. You could’ve been sitting home with the cats and bingeing on Häagen-Dazs with Piper Chapman or Rick and Morty. You could’ve finally finished the scrapbook, or tuned up your Harley Softail.But no. You cleaned yourself up and went out. For what? This! Yikes! Find the bold design on mugs, magnets, wall hangings,etc. Get gists here for you and your friends. Then go see my Fine Art here www.peterjketchum.com. Thanks!
