Batman and the Birth of Venus


Isabel Samaras is my latest guilty pleasure artist. It hits my spot because I love both pop art and classical art. This Batman and Robin piece works in so many ways.











And then there was this homage to Bouguereau and all those birth of Venus paintings, using character from Gilligan's Island. Too much.

The reference is not Bougereau, it's Botticelli.
