There Is Always Free Cheese in a Mousetrap | 48 x 72in
From the "Gettin’s Rich Is a Bitch" collection, There Is Always Free Cheese in a Mousetrap disguises a sharp warning within an extravagant floral arrangement. Roses, lilies, tulips, and other vivid blooms crowd the canvas in saturated reds, yellows, pinks, and whites, while bees move among the petals. Across the bouquet, the title appears in bold turquoise lettering, interrupting the natural beauty with an unmistakable message.
The painting contrasts abundance with danger, reminding us that something offered freely may carry a hidden price. Its seductive flowers mirror the appeal of easy money and effortless reward, while the title exposes the trap beneath the promise. Bright, witty, and cautionary, the work suggests that temptation is often most powerful when beautifully packaged.
