MADSAKI "Mona Lisa 3 Spray Paint Can"

MADSAKI immortalizes one icon with another, remaking the Mona Lisa with Montana Colors paint brand.  Born in Osaka in 1974, and relocated to New Jersey at a young age, MADSAKI graduated from the Parsons School of Design in New York (BFA, 1996) and was a member of international artist group Barnstormers before starting his solo career.  Both satirical and sentimental, aggressive yet vulnerable, MADSAKI has used graffiti influences as a way to express the frustration and alienation of his bicultural identity and to critique the value of art.
