The Council
The Council
Nobody Blinks
Seven men in beige suits, each crowned with a golden halo, form a perfect circle. Each one points a gun at the man to his left. Each one is being pointed at by the man to his right. The arrangement is geometrically flawless and completely unresolvable. They have been here a long time. They will be here longer.
This is a painting about power, about the circular logic of deterrence, about the way institutions sustain themselves through mutual threat. It's rendered in the flat, bold lines of a mid-century illustration, which makes it feel both timeless and immediately recognizable. It's the funniest painting about governance you'll ever own.
