About “Will Work For Food” by Pøbel – Original on canvas

Pøbel’s “Will Work For Food” originated in Stavanger, Norway as a 60x60m mural during the “Nice Surprise” art festival in 2023. It was painted on a contingency food storage silo, a structure designed for emergencies, stockpiling resources for times of crisis. The irony is unmistakable: a farmer, once the backbone of food production, now sits beneath this vast reserve, seemingly unemployed, or perhaps left behind by industrialized agriculture politics.

Is this a commentary on the precarious state of farming? A warning about the fragility of food supply chains? Or does it symbolize a broader societal shift, where self-sufficiency is increasingly out of reach? This piece invites reflection on our dependence on large-scale food systems and the potential consequences of economic, social or environmental upheaval.

This exclusive edition of 5 is a museum-quality original on canvas, signed and numbered by Pøbel. The rarity of this edition makes it a valuable collector’s item and a statement piece.

A powerful and rare artwork that holds a mirror to our times.
