Appetite is where pop art, fast food, and slow-burning sensuality collide in a visual mic drop. In this cheeky, hyper-contemporary piece, Willem van der Krieken presents a woman mid-fry, quite literally, dressed in a barely-there bikini fashioned from unmistakable red-and-yellow fast-food packaging. She h
olds a box of fries in one hand, teasingly lifting one to her lips with the kind of confidence that could sell out an ad campaign or spark a revolution.
This painting is all about appetite: for food, attention, indulgence, control, and maybe even chaos. The tattoos crawling across her body tell a story of rebellion, while the McBranding across her breasts and fries at her hip nod to a culture obsessed with consumption, packaging, and instant gratification.
The figure is rendered with Willem’s signature richness in skin tones, contrast, and light. The dark background lets her pop in every sense of the word, while the red strings and golden arches take center stage like a punchline in satin. The expression? Half smirk, half seduction, all power.
