Aritst Max Emadi Making Headlines

ArikiArt member Max (Makan) Emadi has sure been making headlines for himself lately with his controversial series of paintings that features Islamic women.

When a Russian newspaper ran a story about Max recently, that was quickly followed by an email for Radio Free Europe requesting an interview with Max. Now the senior editor of a glossy magazine from Russia called "Khooligan" has contacted Max about running a story on Max in the magazine.

The price of fame has been some "interesting" email for Max, for example an email from Tajikistan that begins:

"Each moslem having seen such your scoffy work about muslim women first coming to mind to kill you..."

Max's piece of George Bush stripped bare as the fabled emperor does seem to get the writer's approval we presume when he writes near the end of his email

"You painted helly George Bush beautifully but our moslems????"

4 Years Later Is George Bush Sleeping Soundly?

With the passing of the 4th anniversary of the commencement of the invasion of Iraq this week on Tuesday April 20th, we continue to wonder if George Bush is sleeping soundly. Although this mixed media piece was completed by Max Emadi in 2004, it is still just as timely, and perhaps even more so.

Max Emadi has featured George Bush in three works. Sleeping Soundly, the work seen to the left, Portrait of George Bush After JFK, and George Bush in the Emperor's New Clothes.
