A painting inspired by the former brand name and previous manufacturers Kraft Foods and Dairy Farmers defending the name despite decades long campaigns to have the name changed. They argued that this is not a racist term used in Australia and more so in the United States. As a black artist growing up in country Victoria I beg to differ. In the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 and ongoing pressure current owners Saputo Inc decided to rebrand the name to CHEER.
Cheers to that

Artist Bio
Shane Bonsujet is a visual artist based and working out of his studio in Melbourne.
Shanes art often draws on lived experiences and memories that explore themes of psychology, growth, empowerment and discovery forming a deep connection with viewers.
Emotive, expressive, intuitive and playful, Shane's paintings are inspired by many influences such as the natural world, existentialism and philosophy that create a balance and duality between depth in concept and naïve appearance. Bold colours and expressive brushwork create an open dancefloor for curious mark making, naïve characters, patterns, symbols and motifs that balance abstraction and various other styles and references.
Shanes paintings are held in public and private collections all over the country and internationally, and has been a finalist in various notable art prizes and exhibited in several exhibitions, group shows and art fairs.
