Henriette Sonne's exhibited work consists of 12 paintings in 4 series, 
 titled “Buy two get one 1/2 price”.

About the work:
Her current series is about consumerism. It is a reflection of how we purchase products generally. Consumers like a good bargain and are often tempted by the offer of “buy two, get one 1/2 price”. 
The artist Henriette Sonne reflects on why we do this. 
We know that nobody is giving anything away for free. 
The cut is either in the quality, or the price.
What we think we save is included in the first two and a 1/2 that we purchase.

Have we as consumers become victims of our own enthusiasm or gullibility?
Henriette Sonne, 2010
