“Joker Johnson”
Above shows some of the press coverage that occurred after the ballpoint drawing of Prime Minister Boris Johnson drawn with the face of The Joker was released. The artwork was even used on placards during political protests in 2019. For more information on the artwork “Joker Johnson” see this page here.
It was created along with three others; “Fire Bolsonaro”, “Dumping Trump”, and “Valak Putin” (see blow images) for the London, public solo exhibition “A Decade of Shady Business”.
Tears of Shame
The below 3 drawings below are around the idea of expressing the inner shame of the subject that, if isn’t visibly there, in this artist’s opinion, is there just a bit deeper down. First: “Tears of Liberty”, then “Crying Shame”, lastly King Leopold 2nd of Belgium crying a tear with the Congolese flag in it, you may need to look up his atrocities.
The Good Guys
The above artworks shine a light on the unfortunate state of our world leaders, but there are some good guys out there who have the right attitude.
Directly Political, Art Below
Below: “Crying Shame” & “Fire Bolsonaro” (see video showing it’s creation at bottom of page) artworks up as big posters on the London tube platforms at Regents Park Underground. Thanks to ArtBelow.org.uk. I received a lot of messages from London based Brazilians who were happy to see the “Fire Blosonaro” one.
Directly Political, Exhibited
Below shows “Greta The Great” drawing/artwork on the right looking down on 4 world leaders not doing a great job in her/my opinion. These were on show at The Fitzrovia Gallery in December 2019.
