Isabel Samaras



above is the original ----- Raft of the Medusa
Gericault-------1818
Isabel Samaras is a wonderful brilliant artist based out of New York. I love her work because it is witty and i really enjoy how she incorporates people and characters from pop culture mainly people and whole casts from television shows. the painting above is actually themed from a classic oil painting from the 18th century by french romantic painter Theodore Gericault. Ok really how awesome can artwork get? what an idea. this is not the only sort of replica from classic art that she does and i would recommend looking at the others because they are so entertaining to look at. She also has an erotic style that is both erotic and funny because of the popular culture. A four-some with the Adams family and the monsters who would have thought? what a brilliant mind i like the way that Isabel Samaras thinks.


god she is so funny! and she probably has so much fun doing these

oh pee wee this is by far one of my favorite paintings of all time because it is well done and it has a comical aspect to it. if i had the money and a fire place mantle i would buy this and enjoy it everyday!
