Ice Cream, 2009 |
Cherry Pop, 2000 |
Will Cotton juxtaposes landscapes of ice cream and candy, etc. with portraits of beautiful women. His works resemble a Candy Land scene or a gingerbread house. These utopias evoke sight, smell, touch, and taste.
He features elements of advertising, human desire, sugar, and sex (all relatable). He paints with old master technical precision. Some of his paintings appear to be photographs.
His use of color, usually pastel, provides a dreamlike quality to his paintings.
