In Rodger Werkhoven’s "Stop Wars - Make Art" series, iconic figures are reimagined wearing yellow sweaters or t-shirts, each carrying a message of peace or creativity. The hyper-realistic portraits blend history, culture, and activism, creating a powerful statement for the modern era. Here are descriptions of key works:
- Jimi Hendrix in a yellow sweater that reads Make Art: The legendary guitarist’s rebellious spirit is captured, emphasizing his role as a cultural and artistic revolutionary.
- Luke Skywalker with a Stop Wars t-shirt: The hero from the Star Wars saga is portrayed as a symbol of peace, transforming his battle against the Galactic Empire into a broader call for the end of real-world conflict.
- Barack Obama in a Stop Wars sweater: The former U.S. president, known for his diplomacy and peace efforts, is presented in a thoughtful pose, embodying the message of global harmony and the pursuit of peace.
- John Lennon with a Make Art t-shirt: The peace icon and musician, known for his activism, stands as a testament to the power of art in shaping cultural and political movements.
- Andy Warhol in a Make Art sweater: The pop-art pioneer, who turned everyday objects into art, is depicted with his signature expressionless look, making a quiet but bold statement about the influence of creativity.
Each portrait in this series uses both the iconic status of these figures and the contrasting simplicity of their messages to challenge perceptions of art, war, and social responsibility.
