# Godly Fast Food Art Chris Woods Paints Fast Food Companies in a Holier Light By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-05-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godly-consumer-art1 References: [chriswoodsartist](http://www.chriswoodsartist.com/id44.html) & [shockblast.net](http://www.shockblast.net/chris-woods-worx/) Canadian artist Chris Woods has a fantastic series of consumer-based paintings that portray fast food employees as godly individuals. These paintings include the soft serve experts from Dairy Queen, the burger buffs from [McDonald’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-night-posters) and the grill masters from [Burger King](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spongebob-menu). These colorful paintings put a noble twist on a generally undesirable profession. This New Brunswick-born artist focuses most of his works on consumerism and the affect it has on society. He’s also done some interesting Coke-versus-[Pepsi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-cups) paintings, one of which looks like a West Side Story adaptation revolving around sugary sodas. Woods creates the feel of godliness in these works by doing things like painting drive-thru employees with angel wings, kneeling over hungry civilians. One of these clever paintings portrays a customer being baptized in ice cream by the good folks at Dairy Queen. These intriguing art works get the audience to look at the fast food industry in a whole new light. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Artistic Consumerism:** Opportunity for artists to explore consumer-based themes in their work, challenging societal perceptions. - **Redefining Professions:** Disruptive potential to transform traditionally undesirable jobs, creating a more noble and compelling image. - **Cultural Critique:** Artistic expression used to comment on the impact of fast food and consumerism on society. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art & Design:** Artists and designers can leverage consumer-based themes to provoke thought and challenge perceptions. - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can explore innovative ways to rebrand and enhance their image through artistic collaborations. - **Advertising & Marketing:** Opportunity for advertisers and marketers to incorporate artistic elements and cultural critiques in campaigns to resonate with consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unusual Fast Food Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/believe-campaign.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Fast Food-Themed Roads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonaldsfries1.md) - [QSR Food-Inspired Door Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-france-1.md) - [Painterly Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining.md) - [Employee-Curated Fast Food Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anti-celebrity-meals.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Night QSR Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-night-posters.md) - [Chicken QSR-Collaborative Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aries-and-kfc.md)
