Artwork Description
Reproduction of Southern Pride Best BBQ by Michael Mullan
Michael Mullan's "Southern Pride Best BBQ" is a vibrant, nostalgic homage to Southern culinary culture, often described as part of the contemporary folk art genre. This print captures the essence of Southern hospitality and tradition through a stylized, simplistic depiction of a pig—a symbol synonymous with barbecue. Rendered in a bold, rustic aesthetic, the pig is the central figure, filled with the word "BBQ" in large, chalk-like letters, which evokes the ambiance of vintage roadside diners and smokehouses. Surrounding the pig, the message "WORLD'S BEST" is boldly proclaimed in distressed typography, reminiscent of hand-painted signs, with "BEST" highlighted in a golden yellow hue framed with a playful scalloped edge. The composition is further accentuated with star motifs in muted tones of yellow, red, and blue-gray, adding a whimsical touch to the piece. The background features a textured off-white canvas, lending an element of aged authenticity to the portrayal. Below the central image, the phrase "IT'S A SOUTHERN THING" is inscribed in a subtle, hand-drawn script, underscoring the cultural significance and regional pride associated with Southern barbecue. Mullan’s artwork is characterized by its ability to blend the charm of folk art with contemporary design, making "Southern Pride Best BBQ" a perfect piece for those seeking to celebrate and commemorate the rich, flavorful traditions of the Southern United States.For more art by Michael Mullan click here.
