Contemporary art is a fairy tale.
Drawing, painting, installation, guerrilla, performance, sculpture, NFTs, video, text, sound, bus… all things contemporary.
And now more than ever, the contemporary is political. Mary Mihelic is part of the artist duo that purchased Donald Trump’s original campaign bus off Craigslist in 2015, transformed it into an anti-Trump artwork, and crisscrossed the country in it. Using art and humor, the artists broke through the divisive rhetoric and found common ground with voters. See the bus and artworks inspired by voters.
Her Running Girl Series is inspired by the courage of the schoolgirls who ran for their lives and escaped from the Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria when they attacked their school and kidnapped their classmates. On April 14, 2014, over fifty schoolgirls made that split-second decision to run for it. So this series comprises over fifty artworks of girls running. Forty-three artworks are completed.
