1990 - 2020’s

About: "Like a Prayer," released in 1989, is one of Madonna’s most iconic and controversial hits, serving as the lead single from her fourth studio album of the same name. The song, blending pop, gospel, and rock elements, was a commercial success, topping charts worldwide and solidifying Madonna’s status as a cultural icon. "Like a Prayer" explores the intersection of spirituality and sexuality, with Madonna using religious metaphors to convey intense personal devotion.

In the portrait Madonna is pictured in a large Catholic Church kneeling at the altar with a microphone in her hands, inspired by her performance of the track in concert in 1990 during her “Blonde Ambition” tour which became one of her most iconic visual looks. In the background two neon signs are hanging from large wooden crosses with the lyrics from the track: “I’m down on my knees, I wanna take you there” encapsulating the duality of both praying and romantic longing.

About:

Inspired by U2's iconic track "Even Better Than The Real Thing," this cutting edge artwork delves into the enigmatic realm of virtual reality and artificial intelligence, asking us to question the very fabric of our reality. The artwork presents a wireframe virtual setting with a medley of captivating objects gracefully floating around in a cube: a satellite dish, a plane, a brave astronaut, and an iconic Trabant car (Paying homage to U2's early 90s imagery)

A stroke of irony is introduced by the inclusion of a Warhol-inspired coke bottle and the timeless Coca Cola slogan "It's the real thing." The artwork conveys the notion that while our perception of reality may falter in the 2020’s as we navigate what is real and what is fake, there remains an unwavering certainty in the age old truth and authenticity of Coca Cola !

About:This portrait reworks the classic image of ‘Saint Sebastian’ as modern football legend: Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, nicknamed CR7. In classical paintings such as the Italian Early Renaissance master Andrea Mantegna, Sebastian is tied to a column, shot full of arrows for staying true to his Christian faith under a Roman emperor who hated Christians.

Here, Ronaldo takes Sebastian's place – tied to the goalpost at Old Trafford (The Alex Ferguson Stand in the background) Arrows pierce his body, each fletched with tabloid newspaper clippings labeled with words such as "Overpaid," "Diva," "Toxic," "Washed," "Penaldo," and "Ego." They're the shots fired by the press, media, rival fans, and critics who've slated him over the years, especially during his second stint at Manchester United (2021–2022), when the criticism ramped up against him.

The shadowy figures in the foreground are the tabloid "archers" taking their potshots. But Ronaldo stays upright, staring ahead - unbreakable. Into his 40s, he keeps scoring, breaking records, and proving he's the GOAT. Just like Sebastian who survived the arrows, Ronaldo bounces back stronger. This portrait is not just for United or Ronaldo fans. It’s about resilience - standing tall when you are facing criticism and betrayal but never giving up!

Artwork Inspiration:

The artwork draws inspiration from the acclaimed 2019 Joker film starring Joaquin Phoenix and the Frank Sinatra song "Send In The Clowns," a notable feature of the movie. The film, set in 1981 and loosely based on DC Comics characters, chronicles the journey of Arthur Fleck, a failed clown and aspiring stand-up comic whose descent into mental illness and nihilism sparks a violent countercultural revolution against the wealthy in a decaying Gotham City. The artwork itself presents a "light" versus "dark" split screen scenario, juxtaposing a vintage advertisement portraying carefree clowns fooling around with the caption "Send in the clowns" against a much darker alternative depiction of the Joker “sending in the clowns” to incite the angry crowds to "kill The Rich." This compelling scene is framed by a detailed map of Gotham City, showcasing landmarks such as the Arkham Asylum and Wayne Manor.

Artwork Inspiration:

This mixed media aluminum artwork takes inspiration from the pulsating rhythm of English DJ James Hype's 2022 global club hit "Ferrari," - a song that captures the intensity of romantic desire through the metaphor of a high-speed car. The phrase 'You still make my heart beat fast, Ferrari' suggests that the person the singer is addressing has a powerful effect on them, akin to the out of control adrenaline rush you feel when being driven in a Ferrari.

The artwork mirrors the song's metaphor featuring anatomical engravings of a human heart and double halftone screen prints of the Ferrari Testarossa, which was an automotive icon of the 1980’s / 90’s driven by many celebrities such as Mike Tyson, Michael Jordon and Dr Dre to name a few. The choice of the Testerossa hints at an underlying message: True passion can be timeless, just like a classic car that retains its appeal despite the passage of years !
