The first piece is by Curtis Broadway. The owner of the gallery didn't specify the title but this was the art that caught my eye at the return to the Ferguson gallery. I spoke to the owner about the oddness of the piece and that pig or boar looked very troubled. We kind of came to the conclusion that the pig was a typical man just depicted differently and I brought up "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. The piece reminded me of Old Major, a rebel to the very core. The piece looked like a beatnik just as a pig. It was very funny and he said to me that my observation was very interesting and not too outlandish.
This post also includes other art from Ocean and his celebrities. There is Barack Obama, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Dylan depicted.
