Defence of the Inanimate Coke Can By Antony H Haylock

Defence of the Inanimate Coke Can By Antony H Haylock

Antony ‘H’ Haylock knows how to have a little fun with art. His work centres around iconic, inanimate objects which, as he says, contain “the power to evoke an emotion, a memory, a visual time stamp.” H’s prints artfully blend high impact compositional technique with tongue in cheek wit to produce an appealing aesthetic. The ‘Defence of the Inanimate’ series inspired by a childhood book in which inanimate objects come to life deftly showcases H’s artistic approach, blending pop art themes and styles with fine art skills and a penchant for word play. ‘Defence of the Inanimate Coke Can’ began, conceptually, with H’s perception that the lowly can of Coke was, in fact, “very regal, owning the soft drink market. Born with a silver spoon in its mouth.” H took this simple idea and recreated the iconic red and silver can onto an off white background, emblazoned with the ironic slogan “I’m glad I ain’t a Pepsi.” The final result is not only beautiful, with its bold pop art aesthetic, but enduringly witty an imaginative take on art’s relationship to consumerism for the twenty first century.
