About the Item

A figure against the American flag is more than just bold color composition — it sparks deeper conversation. The light blue shirt contrasts with the red and white stripes, creating tension. This is a snapshot of everyday life, laced with irony and reflection. Casually seated with a large bucket of popcorn, the figure adds a relaxed vibe. But is it just rest, or a subtle critique of consumer culture? The American flag raises questions of identity in a globalized world. Notably, the flag is upside down — a historic signal of distress. This adds urgency, a quiet anxiety about society under Trump’s policies. Americans are questioning his direction. Are we ignoring warning signs that the country is headed in the wrong direction? Created with Dutch acrylic paints (Amsterdam) on Italian canvas (Unico), finished with satin varnish. The edges are painted. Canvas on a wooden frame, carefully packed with bubble wrap and shipped in a cardboard box. Signed, with certificate of authenticity.
