PRESS - “OUR WORLD LEADERS” a series by Artists Marcarson
“The series of paintings on reproductions of works taken from The Metropolitan Museum of New York, World Leaders, points to the outdated, ineffective, and often damaging perspectives that these men bring to their roles and rhetoric. This work recasts images of powerful white figures into roles that are entirely inappropriate for them and simultaneously roles that people like them often continue to occupy. The addition of a Du Rag points to the ways in which these men co-opt the culture in an attempt to show that they understand and that they are “cool” enough for us to trust them to have our interests at heart. It also points to ways in which elements of black culture are censured until white mainstream America claims these cultural elements it’s own and rips them from their roots. This kind of cultural appropriation is evident in music, fashion, art, and food. World Leaders attempt to turn that conversation on its head.
