Narcissism 

"Narcissism," by Alex Gross, is a contemporary painting depicting a multitude of self-portraits of the artist. Each figure embodies stereotypical aspects of modern American culture, engaged in activities like consuming fast food, using technology, and indulging in leisure. The artist’s bold, hyper-realistic style, reminiscent of pop art and social commentary, draws attention to contemporary issues like consumerism, technology addiction, and self-obsession. The work encourages viewers to contemplate the complexities of self-image and identity in the modern world.
