Love You Babe
Works in Jan’s Heroes series celebrate virtues of icons from popular culture.
Love You Babe presents a ‘pixelated’ version of an archetypal portrait of a great American Las Vegas and Hollywood entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr. With this abstracted portrait, Jan presents the essence of a man who was universally regarded as a kind, hard-working, highly-talented star of the stage, and who converted from Christianity to become Jewish, something rarely done in mainstream American society.
