Tide – (Douglas Coupland) Previous Next


Artist:

Size: 82 x 123 cm

Museum: Vancouver Art Gallery (Vancouver, Canada)

Technique: Sculpture

These monumental sculptures are immediately identifiable by their distinctive colours and shapes as Tide, Downy and Penzoil bottles used as containers for common household products. Drawing inspiration from these mass-produced utilitarian objects, Coupland enlarged their scale and removed their labelling, calling attention to the sleek forms and inherent beauty of such everyday objects and their ecologically ambiguous contents.
