Kanye West, Donald Trump, Nike, Apple, alcohol and fast food. These are only a few of the themes that are constantly featured in the works of Dot Pigeon. He cleverly throws everything in a heap to create a clever mash-up.
Behind the Dot Pigeon nom de plume is Stefano Fraone, art director and graphic designer from Milan. He calls himself an autodidact visual guy somewhere between minimalism and baroque. You also see that his work is sometimes very exuberant and detailed and sometimes very basic and sober, filled with social commentary on current matters.
A good example is the portrait of Kanye West. This is inspired by the official portrait of Barack Obama by Kehinde Wiley. The background with flowers on this painting has been replaced by the logo of Twitter. Allusions with the Twitter controversies and rants of Kanye are quite obvious.
