This style is a very comic book style and corresponds with Andy Warhol style of exhibiting popular culture, truly capturing an emotion through iconic images that most if not every household in America are ac-costume or at least familiar with. Very interesting work, Indeed.

Interview With Alec Monopoly
Juxtapoz, 11/18/2010

Alec Monopoly is a street graffiti artist / studio painter. This exhibit features primarilly images of the "Monopoly Guy", that mustached old banker icon from the board game. The paintings feature him in unusual, comical situations such as DJing or getting his ass beat by the police. There are also images that are more social commentary in nature, such as him being crushed by a giant bag of coins labelled "Bills", or shrugging with numerous headlines of ridiculous corporate victories (What happened to that BP lawsuit?) behind him.

In addition, there are paintings of other famous characters such as Robert De Niro as the guy from Taxi Driver, and Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.
