About the Artist Back to Gallery

This painting depicts a pair of socks mechanically printed with the image of the Mona Lisa. By painting the socks themselves, the work plays between the original oil painting, its reproduced image, and a familiar domestic object, transforming a novelty item into a painted subject.
