The San Diego Chicken may be more than just a little bit crazy by Jack Hirons
Jack Hirons uses a very unusual medium. All the pigment used in this series of works comes from the charred and crushed bones of fried chicken, bought on a matchday on Tottenham High Road from the legendary Chick-King fast food restaurant. Hirons blackens the bones himself and grinds them into powder to make his deep black pigment. The resulting stark, monochromatic paintings are filled with nods to chicken as sporting and cultural icon, as matchday ritual, as political history, and – obviously – as greasy sustenance.
