Oliver Wasow's Trump Rogues May 1-May 7 At NYC Steve Harvey Fine Art Benefits ACLU

New York-based artist Oliver Wasow has created a haunting portrait series of key figures in the Trump administration. The entire series, titled 'Rogues Gallery' will comprise a week-long exhibition opening from May 1-May 7, 2017 at New York's Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects, 208 Forsyth Street. More details.

ArtNet News describes the process: To create the subtly disturbing images, Wasow has worked with images sourced from the Internet, digitally manipulating each portrait in Photoshop, adjusting the backdrop and lighting and sometimes distorting physical features to draw out the subject’s creepy side. First Daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, for instance, have had their brown eyes swapped out for Vladimir Putin’s baby blues, in a commentary on the Russian government’s possible influences on the administration.

Although the images were created to be shared on social media, rather than displayed physically, Wasow is selling 12-by-16-inch prints of each portrait for $100 each, or the full set of 14 for $1,000. A poster of the series is priced at $200. All proceeds will benefit the ACLU.
