Dollarsandart
- the brain child of Dubai-based artist Jim Wheat
- explores the significance of money in twenty-first century society, from both sides of the coin. His art explores the essential qualities of currency: that money makes the world go round, but that it can also act as a force for both good & evil. ‘ George Michael’ depicts the eponymous singer, his picture duplicated across four squares, each one washed with a neon colour in the style of Pop Art portraiture, & subtly emblazoned with the dollar sign. Focusing the trope of money through people, places, & occasions, Dollarsandart’s celebrity prints comment on the tense relationship between fame & finance in contemporary culture.
