Jaroslaw Miklasiewicz social commentary in paintings. (his site in polish, click links Galeria 1, Galeria 2 and Galeria 3 to see painings)
Some of my favorite paintings:
Proletariat: Notice the jester and whores.

Death of a Jester: I wonder why his right hand is in a bucket.

The Blind: Not only the blind leading the blind but a new twist with the blind reading a newspaper. Parade of Fools indeed.

A Tip, A Gift: Perhaps a way Candidia might pass a tip to a homeless man an a street as long as her gesture were to be reported by the media.

Dialogs with the Past: A torn canvas, A rip in the fabric of the painting, a separation.

A Little Voting Booth: The leader speaks. The guys in the back hold a white sheet to cover the leader's naked ass. Notice the construction of a voting booth with the votes going straight into the garbage bin.

Jester going for a walk : parade as usual

Rounding Up of Fools (I invented this title): Polish title is "Skolowani", a play on words, it could be translated as Being Loopy, Loopy people as in crazy but it has to do with a wheel too so round shapes represent loopy crazy people. Notice the jesters cap hanging on a tree stump, tree is gone, the jester is gone.
