My guess is that it is the stenciller himself. If so, it’s kind of amusing in its pointless vanity. St Marks Place |

WP Cumulus Flash tag cloud by Roy Tanck and Luke Morton requires Flash Player 9 or better.
artist’s depiction of “mr smith” (the matrix)_ (possibly a recombinant insertion of his own likeness), more broadly in representation of what may be considered a “clone” effect, infecting humanity. A loss of identity amid commercialisation and mass production, moving toward a deterioration of creativity, originality; may also be considered represented of a loss of freedoms of any respect, social, political etc.
Important to note utilisation of a stencil (medium of mass production) emphasises original conceptual thought.
Thanks Alicia. I think you’ve got it nailed.
lol nt.
it is definitely a “the matrix-esque” representation of Park Chung Hee, President of South Korea from 1961 – 1979.
OK, I’ll buy it, lanvin.
