Stuart Sneakdisser Clown College, Dean of Admissions

"The most dangerous clown is the one who still thinks he's in charge."
- Nat Berhe

A deadpan close portrait of a suited man wearing full clown makeup, red bulb nose, multicolored patchwork face in blue, yellow, red, and orange, one eye a hollow black ring, rendered with the sober compositional gravity of an institutional headshot. The white ground and formal framing refuse irony: this is a man to be taken seriously, which is precisely the horror. It is a painting about the costumed authority that runs things, smiling.
