In my opinion this particular piece that advertises this exhibit is a combination of pop and digital art. The use of bold bright colors, the classic representation of an all american hamburger and the digital effects of the spinning hamburger and constant color change creates a very enticing piece, holding the attention of many viewers as well as drawing customers in, if used as a restaurant sign. In my opinion it's a great way to show how artists combined movements and styles creating contemporary art.

Street artists, Above states, "When I was in Lisbon, Portugal three months ago, I would walk by this homeless lady who was begging for money everyday. I found it sadly ironic that just six feet away there was an ATM machine where people were literally lining up to withdraw money. With an obvious visual clash of 'Rich' and 'Poor' being in such a close proximity evoked me to make this stencil, 'Stealing from the Rich, and Giving to the Poor."
