Well this is amusing. Eater points us to a new gallery show of local street artist fnnch (remember him?), called 9 Cans of La Croix. And yes, that's what it is: large paintings of cans of the very in-vogue flavored seltzer. The artist calls the collection “soup cans for Millennials," referring to Andy Warhol’s 1962 Campbell's soup can paintings that came to epitomize the Pop Art movement.
The show opens tomorrow (Friday, July 14), but it's a ticket event in a "secret" mission space that is already sold out. Sadly for all of us without tickets, we will be missing the La Croix cocktails that are going to be served.
And maybe if these paintings are a hit, fnnch will start pumping them out like Warhol did and there'll be another show.
