Brandi Hughes | Hotdog | 2025 | oil on canvas | 125 x 125cm (framed)

Inspired by taking everyday, utilitarian objects and transforming them into expressive statement pieces.

Based on the iconic vintage design from 1967, this piece transformed how the world would come to know and love inflatable furniture.

Hotdog is a glance through a rose-coloured rear-view mirror, and a starry-eyed gaze at the summers ahead.
