Creating Always a Cheetah
"Always a Cheetah" is another brilliant example of Zen Xander’s ability to blend humor with social critique. In this piece, a cheetah—nature’s fastest land animal—is depicted riding an electric scooter, a device known for its convenience rather than speed. The image is a clever play on words, with the cheetah choosing to "cheat" by opting for a scooter rather than relying on its own natural, superior abilities.
Always a Cheetah: A Playful Commentary on Society’s Shortcuts
This artwork serves as a commentary on how society increasingly seeks shortcuts, even when we are equipped with the means to excel naturally. The cheetah, known for its unmatched speed and agility, becomes a symbol of how even the most capable among us might opt for the easier, lazier route when presented with modern conveniences.
The creation of "Always a Cheetah" showcases Zen Xander’s meticulous attention to detail, with each spot on the cheetah and every part of the scooter carefully crafted using layered stencils. The stark contrast between the cheetah’s sleek form and the mechanical simplicity of the scooter highlights the absurdity of the choice, making this piece both visually striking and thematically rich.
