Alfred Boman — Estrogen Burger
Alfred Boman

Estrogen Burger

A luscious, larger-than-life burger emerges from layers of glue emulsion, acrylic paint, spray paint, and enamel varnish on linen, its surfaces rendered with a slick, almost industrial sheen. Boman fuses the iconography of fast food consumer culture with the charged language of hormonal identity, infusing the familiar form with an unsettling and seductive undertone. The work hovers between appetite and critique, inviting the viewer to consider desire, the body, and the commodification of both.
