Expelling the Vices 2014

Kent Monkman's 2014 painting "Expelling the Vices" is a large-scale oil on canvas that reimagines the iconic American landscape of Mount Rushmore. In the painting, a figure representing a Native American warrior, riding a horse, and holding a whip, dominates the scene as he expels European settlers from the mountain. This artwork is a powerful commentary on the history of colonization in America and the ongoing struggle for Indigenous rights.
