21st century Graces

The story behind the Art.

“War, Power, Drugs, and Addiction are the beautiful and tempting ladies of our century ”

“21st Century Graces” is a representation of what I believe are some of the most devastating problems within humanity, namely “War, Addiction & Corruption”. Time in the “21st Century” is symbolized by a clock on which three seductive women proudly stand. To the left, “War and Conflict” is expressed by a beautiful black-haired woman wielding a weapon. In the center, “Drug and Addiction” is revealed by a cheery blond holding a glass of wine while naively puffing away on a cigarette. To the right, “Power and Corruption” is illustrated by a greedy red-haired woman flashing thousand dollar bills while holding a cane representing power. Beneath the clock, sweaty-palmed men are breaking their backs trying to maintain this attractive although naive fantasy.

But…it is always your choice to make it better.
