  This monumental Serialist Masterpiece by Brent Doty reinterprets Picasso’s Guernica as a contemporary warning to humanity. Measuring 68" x 150", the painting is “half the size but twice the punch,” a visceral response to Donald Trump’s first presidential election and the enduring cycle of human destruction. Constructed over seven months, the mural is hand-built from thousands of images representing atrocities, war crimes, and moral collapse, plunging into the depths of human depravity to reflect our repeated failures throughout history.
  Referencing the horrors of global conflict and societal corruption even before WWII, this immersive Serialist work confronts viewers with the stark reality that humanity continues to repeat its mistakes—if anything, the consequences are worsening. The intricate layering and meticulous construction invite prolonged engagement, demanding reflection, awareness, and emotional response.
  Part of Doty’s Masterpiece Series, this one-of-a-kind mural functions as both a cultural statement and a collector’s triumph. Ideal for female collectors, corporate buyers, interior designers, and luxury spaces seeking a provocative, conversation-starting centerpiece, the painting embodies moral urgency and long-term collectability. Make art! Not war!
