“Marina, Ulay and...Beeple” by Angelo Accardi is a captivating oil, acrylic, and ink painting that weaves together an eclectic tapestry of art and culture.

The inclusion of Scrooge McDuck and other comic characters provides a playful nod to pop culture, while artwork by Beeple anchors the work firmly in the digital age. "Marina, Ulay and...Beeple" is a testament to the fusion of artistic influences across time and mediums, creating a thought-provoking and visually stimulating tableau.
