D*Face Takes On the Queen at G-20 Summit
Marissa Brassfield — April 4, 2009 — Art & Design
Even the digital billboards around G-20 Summit are game for street artist D*Face, as you can see from these doctored digital billboards of the Queen. D*Face has given the Queen several different makeovers for the series, including a new hairstyle, upgraded makeup and a facelift.
Animal New York put forth the possibility that D*Face paid to put up the billboard rather than using nefarious means. What do you think?
Implications - SECOND SENTENCE DANGLE
Politics will constantly create new art. This is because art is a form of free expression that anyone can produce. Through doing this, if the artwork is truthful and profound, it will garner media attention as well as the attention of the people targeted.
