Starry Night

Van Gogh's swirling night sky is faithfully reproduced the spiraling clouds, glowing stars, dark cypress, and sleeping village until the eye lands on the roadside signs piercing the horizon: McDonald's golden arches, Taco Bell, Burger King. The collision between post-Impressionist reverence and fast food banality is the entire work's proposition. What reads at first as an homage reveals itself as a quiet critique of how corporate signage has colonized every landscape, even the most mythologized ones.
