Quoted By:
Parr’s art delves into the everyday, from British seaside resorts to supermarket shelves, with a focus on consumerism and leisure. His most famous series, The Last Resort (1985), documents working-class families on holiday, blending humor with social critique. In Common Sense (1999), he pushes his exploration of consumer culture further, using garish colors to amplify the ridiculousness of fast food, cheap goods, and human habits. Through his satirical lens, Parr captures both the charm and the excesses of modern life, turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.
