Florida Primary, A Twist, Santorum Leads, Then Huntsman, Ron Paul Wins
New York, NY- "I wish the Florida GOP primary was more like a horse race," says SOHO artist Corinne Innis. "I've seen long shots with odds as large as 60 to 1 come out of nowhere and win a race," she adds. Innis hoped that the Florida primary would have similar results with Huntsman, Santorum or Ron Paul taking the lead. Innis has been creating comedic paintings portraying a lighter side of the 2012 campaign. The next painting in the series will be called The Race. It will play with the notion of long shots and show Santorum and huntsman as strong contenders in the race. "It's really unfortunate that the media gives so little coverage to long shots and candidates who run as Independents," says Innis. In this respect, She feels that horse races are more interesting because all of the horses are given an equal opportunity to get to the finish line. She has created two other works poking fun at the presidential race, The Naked Truth Beach Party and First Cat. In The Naked Truth Beach Party Obama, Gingrich, Romney, Ron Paul and Bachman are assembled on a beach and are depicted as cartoon characters with word bubbles coming out of their heads. First Cat is a campaign poster that Innis has created for her four-year-old tabby Twey2. In the poster Twey2 is campaigning to be First Cat. He wants to live in the White House with whoever wins the presidential election. Innis's work is often compared to Jean Michel Basquiat. Her unique style comes from her love of folk and street art. She mimics the fluid stream of communication that is fostered by the graffiti/street art on walls around New York City. Innis has a BA in socio-cultural anthropology from SUNY Purchase. Her work has been shown at the African American Museum in Texas and has appeared in the International Review of African American Art.
