The ‘American Revolution Revolution‘ is a series of paintings by Shawn Huckins that combines 18th Century American portraiture with 21st Century lexicons, such as mobile phone texting acronyms, Facebook status updates, and Twitter postings. Essentially the main goal of the series is to explore the brief history of the United States comparing the political revolution of when the country was founded in the 1700s versus the technological revolution that’s been happening over the past decade.
