"My work often has a covert political read. I had a show this fall which made it more obvious. 'I'm Mark Wagner and I Approve This Message' ran at Pavel Zoubok Gallery in NYC a month before the presidential election. There were portraits of candidates in a mock voting booth, images of crowds cheering and crowds jeering, presidential podia, allegorical Americans, etc.
I made it almost as a lark to poke fun at the commercial aspects of the electoral process. It seemed like a stupid, campy image last summer when I had the idea. But now, on the eve of the inauguration, it seems ominous." - Mark Wagner
