The Eighth Wonder Of The World 

"The Eighth Wonder of the World," created by Thomas Blackshear, is a dramatic painting that depicts a monstrous gorilla, perhaps King Kong, as he hangs precariously from a skyscraper, a woman dangling from his hand. The image is rendered with a high degree of realism, emphasizing the gorilla's menacing presence and the woman's vulnerability. Blackshear's work often explores themes of fantasy, pop culture, and African American identity, making this a fascinating and thought-provoking piece.
