About the Item

With his love of art history, and penchant for humor, painter Sam Melendez crafted a distinct spin on The Last Supper. Biblical figures dine of the back of a pig, while being joined by a jester - a fitting synthesis of art history with popular culture! As a intensely rich, dense addition to your home, this painting would be perfect for a vibrant sitting room, or a colorful, whimsical dining room. About Sam Meléndez: Sam Meléndez combines his love for all things vintage and bright colors from his home, Puerto Rico, in his work. Evidence of his process is an integral component of his paintings, creating an authentic personal narrative alongside the subject he depicts. For this reason, the grit that charcoal marks leave behind and the notes he makes while sketching the pieces are important to the final compositions. "I love the combination of the raw, black and white of the charcoal and bare canvas contrasted with the super bright colors I work with."
