Syntagma Athena by Molly Crabapple

Molly Crabapple’s Shell Game

Love these painting about the uprisings of 2011 by Molly Crabapple in an exhibition called ‘Shell Game’. It’s unusual to have artists working with political themes, and to do it so well, like a 21st century Hogarth…as she described it:

“It was the year when everyone sat down in the main squares of their cities and said the old machine is broken,” observes Crabapple. “2011 freed me to do the best work of my career, and it was amazing to see my protest art wheat-pasted on walls and carried by activists around the world.”
