Political Portraits by Scott Scheidly
American artist from Florida, Scott Scheidly creates paintings of tyrants, dictators and popes, turning them from drab to fab with the help of some color coordination and accessorizing. On his website, the artist says he began his exploration with color after “devouring a 10 pack of crayons” as a child. The paintings from the series “Pink” allow for a hilarious take on some of the world’s most known despots and powerful religious figures, revealing a new side to men who are not known for their sense of humor.
