In Luke’s own words “The piece is called “Trickle down effect” it is my comment on the disproportionate amount of the worlds wealth is in the wrong hands, the “Trickle down effect” refers to the idea that tax breaks or other economic benefits provided by government to businesses and the wealthy will benefit poorer members of society by improving the economy as a whole. The term has been attributed to humorist Will Rogers who said during the Great Depression that “money was all appropriated for the top in hopes that it would trickle down to the needy”

My painting is a cynical take on that theory, it depicts a man, representative of lower classes wearing a hood and kept anonymous by a scarf covering his face, similar to the occupy movement or the london rioter, being pissed on by a man in a pin striped suit, the stereotypical 1%er.

It was created using stencils and Aerosol paint on wood.”
