Aaron's Pantheon of Scoundrels is a collection of Renaissance style della Robbia influenced sculptural portraiture that represent questionable 21st century figures in business and politics. Painstakingly researched for fact and allegory, these works, made of glazed porcelain and mixed media, take an average of 125 hours to complete. All works are dated and were completed prior to indictments or resignations. The next wave of Aaron's Scoundrels will be unveiled in 2010. http://modernarf.smugmug.com/Art/pertinent-political-commentary/Pantheon-of-Scoundrels-2002/CleanKenLay/12293765_Wx876-Ti.jpg http://modernarf.smugmug.com/gallery/310674_acUEp/ 2009-01-28T00:24:50Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
