About the Piece
This painting features the classic Disney character Scrooge McDuck, holding a revolver in one hand and a stack of cash in the other. The burning dollar signs and the “Supreme” logo in the background highlight the fusion of money and trendy culture. The graffiti text "Gangsta" and the image of Marilyn Monroe in the lower right corner add a street art vibe and a sense of rebellion to the piece.
Inspiration
The inspiration for this work comes from the combination of contemporary pop culture and classic cartoon characters. Scrooge McDuck has always been seen as a symbol of wealth and greed, while the “Supreme” logo represents modern trendy culture and consumerism. By merging these elements, I aim to explore the relationship between money, power, and pop culture. The graffiti style and the burning dollar signs are meant to depict the frenzy of wealth pursuit and the internal conflicts it brings. Additionally, the image of Marilyn Monroe and the "Gangsta" text further enhance the street style and rebellious spirit of the piece, reflecting a critique and contemplation of societal phenomena.
