This is part of my A-level problem solving unit.
My problem is "How do I portray the working classes in contempory British society."
This is the result.
Oil canvas, about 100cm X 70cm.
The flash went off, so it's all shiney.

Wheres the burberry? But seriously I like it.
Wow, that really looks like the Chavs I see on those websites (we don't have Chavs in the US so that's how I know about them.) Great portrait, I like it. :D
:D Thank you for teaching me the un-joy of Chavs. British white trash, now that's DAMN funny!
*bows* Thankyou all for your kind comments.
Ah, she isn't rich enough to afford burberry - even the fake burberry 'dahn marrket..'.
Fear not - the painting I'm doing now includes burberry prints a-plenty. :)

fat-pie has awesome chav documentary
this portrait is awesome, too.
Yup, that's about right. Of course we're missing hooped earings/burbery/kappa gear/unwanted child in tow, but apart from that it's spot on. Makes me that bit more despairing of humanity.
Hehe, I love your chav art, Chaos. So great.
Wow, thats an awesome portrait. The colouring is tops too.

Am I just fishing or does she bear a resemblence to Vicky Pollard?
You wanna be careful. If you ever became a world renowned artist you could make Chav fashionable. Then I'd have to kill you.
Its a great painting, I like it.
LOL i think its great! yeah wheres the burburry?/ and the fake LV bags??.lol she looks abit too mysterious..chave never do..wither straighfaced or reall really drunk or a half attempt to look modle like but looking straight faced..*yeah but no but yeah but no..right...*dont give ME EVILS!!!!!!!!!
It wasn't intended to bear any resemblence to Vicky Pollard. However I think Vicky Pollard bears a resemblence to my 'Chardonnay', don't you think? ;)
Alas, I must state that the chav is already a fashion or sorts, albiet more of an anti-fashion. What with the Sun declaring itself the 'Chav' Newspaper and all these books 'ridiculing' chavs appearing on our shelves I think it's become the vouge to criticise our working class.
A shame really - 'chav' culture has sold out.
I proudly state that I was doing it with my art before everyone else did it. I heard a columnist doing it in The Daily Telegraph - you know then that it's got out of hand. :p

You got the "mutton dressed as lamb" thing perfect, but I think you captured the hopelessness more than the self-elevation which is what I dislike most about chavs.
Nice pic.
chaos: Good job! :D
Big fat Chav KILL ALL CHAVS
Lol Chavs are scum, you should of done the sheelsiut & cap falling of the head combo...aaaah how i laugh at chavs.
Great pic by the way you have a good talent. ;)

A lot of my other work is focusing on all the aspects you've mentioned. I may post some more up later.
