The Trivago Cup

Additional Information

The Trivago Cup by Karen Chappelow-51x61cm

“Smile”—whether invited or imposed—flashing ridiculously oversized teeth. The exaggerated grins poke at our obsession with cosmetic perfection, where even nature is expected to submit to veneers, fillers, and curated appearances. The rider’s absurd brightness calls to mind the too-familiar sheen of advertising icons-the Trivago man—whose easy confidence sells us the idea that looking polished is the same as being complete.

Through satire and distortion, the work questions our willingness to reshape ourselves for visibility, approval, and the promise of a ‘better’ version. It asks: when everyone is smiling, who is actually happy?
