Walgreens
A meticulously rendered depiction of the iconic Walgreens logo, executed in graphite on an aluminium panel, blurring the line between drawing and sculptural object. McEwen's precise application of graphite transforms the familiar commercial signage into something simultaneously mundane and uncanny, stripping the brand of its color and context. The work reflects McEwen's broader interest in consumer culture, mortality, and the strange weight that ordinary objects and symbols carry in everyday life.
