OUTWARD SIGNS


Outward Signs is a series of important art by award-winning artist John Michael, and is his most ambitious project to date. Depicting priests, nuns, and other religious and culture characters, each work in the series invites controversy, thought and discussion.

John Michael's Outward Signs painted canvases are mysterious and provocative. Each piece is populated by heroes and villians. The subjects pose together in deep silhouette and are without emotion, leaving the viewer to wonder and to apply emotion. Whether or not the subjects are hero or villian is left up to the viewer to decide as no clues are exposed by the artist.

'Gold Sophia'

Andy Warhol made his iconic artwork of Marilyn Monroe (Gold Marilyn) shortly after she died, adapting a publicity shot from one of her films. In doing so,Warhol elevated Marilyn Monroe to the status of super-icon.

Today, the AI robot, Sophia, has become an icon as well. Sophia has appeared on the cover of Elle Brasil and Cosmopolitan magazines. Sophia has been introduced to the United Nations with a conversation with the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, Amina J. Mohammed.

On October 25, 2017, at the Future Investment Summit in Riyadh, Sophia was granted Saudi Arabian citizenship, becoming the first robot ever to have a nationality.

In November 2017, Sophia was named the United Nations Development Programme's first ever Innovation Champion, and is the first non-human to be given any United Nations title.

Sophia has appeared on CBS 60 Minutes, Good Morning Britain, and outlets like CNBC, Forbes, Mashable, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, and the Tonight Show. Sophia was featured in AUDI's annual report. Sophia has also appeared in videos and music videos, including The White King, and as the lead female character in pop singer Leehom Wang’s music video A.

Sophia is an icon, perhaps even a super-icon.
