Mark Flood

God Less America

2008

In *God Less America*, Mark Flood applies spray paint and acrylic to the humble, unassuming surface of cardboard, creating a charged tension between the work's raw materiality and its pointed cultural commentary. The piece strips away the reverence typically associated with patriotic iconography, using the immediacy of street art techniques to deliver a sharp, irreverent critique of the intersection between religion and national identity.
