"Miss October"
This is the first of a series of "Art for Justice" works that I am making for a group show next spring. The group show is inspired by Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, who is a widow facing the death penalty for alleged adultery, and is said to have been lashed 99 times after what was said to be a picture of her without a headscarf appeared in a newspaper.. The show will be a sort of protest against the "Crimes Against Humanity". This painting is titled "Miss October" it depicts the playmate Clair Sinclair in a burqua showing off her playboy jewelry. This painting is inspired 100% by the wonderful works of Makan Emadi's Islamic Erotica which can be viewed here: http://makangallery.com/Gallery.htm
