Cole’s Cloud Study: The Fuck?

Dafuq? Athenaeum by Shawn Huckins

November 08, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, USA, Portfolios, 2017

Athenaeum series by artist Shawn Huckins explores 18th and 19th century American painting and photography in context of 21st century lexicons - Facebook status updates, tweets, texting acronyms - that permeate today’s popular culture. The process is a methodical replication of the original work, each painted by hand followed by the superimposition of large white letters, also painted, of social media jargon
