The Courage To Stand Alone Painting

I'm interested in the idea that political propaganda and commercial PR are essentially the same beast. That the individual is somehow not complete without whatever 'they' are selling today.. be that a fizzy drink, a lifestyle choice or a political ideology. Here i've painted in oils, Michelangelo's David. A beautiful representation of courage in the face of adversity. I hope the painting will remind the viewer that they are powerful as an individual. That we don't need trinkets or others to be valid and important and loved.
