Happy couple Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are the subject of a new piece of art that features them in the traditional and iconic American Gothic portrait painted by artist Grant Wood in 1930. LA artist Ben Tegel created the piece for the animated art show Name That ‘Toon that will open on March 27 at the World of Wonder gallery here in SoCal. In addition to being on display at the Name That ‘Toon exhibit, this poster artwork of L. Ron is also being used as the poster promoting Girl on Girl night at the Viper Room rock club … which, I suppose, is kinda fitting. Here is the art piece and some deets about how it came to be:

Lindsay Lohan is a piece of work—literally. Los Angeles-based artist Ben Tegel created his latest Lohan-inspired work for a poster promoting Girl on Girl night at the Viper Room rock club. The image is a take on Grant Wood’s iconic 1930 portrait, American Gothic, with Samantha Ronson as the pitchfork-holding farmer and LiLo as her wife. But what’s it all mean? The artist explained to me: “Lindsay and Sam are the all-American couple for the 21st century,” Tegel said. “I call it American Sapphic.” Tegel’s work is part of Name That ‘Toon, an upcoming animation exhibit at Hollywood’s World of Wonder Storefront Gallery. Other Tegel works featuring Lohan include Rehabflaunt, a group portrait-like piece with Lohan, Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty that was used to illustrate a story in Flaunt magazine. And if that wasn’t enough, Tegel was inspired by Lohan’s DUI arrest for another Viper Room poster that shows the starlet engaging in illegal activities while kneeling in a seedy alleyway. “I seem to have some sort of fixation with her,” Tegel wrote in an email. “She (along with Britney, I suppose) embodied the fin-de-siecle celebrity archetype. Her child-star-turned-drug-addict-turned-lesbian narrative seems to sum up the way fame operates in the 21st Century. I’m really interested to see what happens in the next chapter of her character’s storyline.” Name That ‘Toon opens at World of Wonder on March 27.

And pop art strikes again. Unlike the Octomom statue that we saw over the weekend, this piece of art seems to have a bit more wit and substance behind it. As poster artwork for the Viper Room‘s Girl on Girl night, it’s brills. Illustrators have long used celebrities in this way to promote parties and clubs. I think it’s wholly fascinating that L. Ron appear to be the new American Gothic, ie. the portrait of traditional American family values. It’s brills. Imitation is the purest form of flattery … I really love this piece. What do y’all think?
