The ARtist
Finding humor in hypocrisy everywhere.
“I celebrate my fav five. They are the icons that paved the way. They challenged the traditions of art during their day by using images from popular culture and trends.”
My Story
With a nod to Pop Art a visual art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s, the artist finds inspiration and reimagines it with today's messaging and style.
A sign of the times, the style focused on mass production, celebrity and the ever expanding industry of advertising, TV, radio and print media shaping a new cultural identity in the field of art and design.
Characterized by a brash, bold, colorful and sometimes humorous art style, Smart Alek™ incorporates a myriad of different styles under the guidance of the artist's very own style. This mashup or the use of "after" various artists is as unique to the artist as a fingerprint.
Like many art movements, the artist also makes a social comment, sometimes with a light hearted touch or “in your face” composition.
The artists that inspired the creative mashup of Smart Alek™ are:
Keith Haring
Banksy
Alec (monopoly)
Roy Lichtenstein
