Volcom 

Alex Gross's "Volcom" is a painting that utilizes the style of socialist realism, but with a subversive twist. The piece depicts a man with snake eyes, referencing the propaganda associated with communist states. It's a striking example of Gross's use of pop culture and political imagery to create commentary on contemporary society. The Volcom logo is a jarring contrast to the image of the authoritarian figure, bringing into question the ideals of consumerism. The artist's signature style of painting, with its smooth surfaces and sharp details, lends an unsettlingly polished feel to the painting, further emphasizing the critique of power and control.
