Justine Lai's series 'Join or Die' is a series of paintings featuring herself having sex with previous presidents of the United States. Her work forces the viewer to consider their own perceptions of formality; American political icons into a completely new perspective. Because of the obscure content of her paintings your first reaction feels as if it should be shock, but Lai's paintings have a whimsical quality to them that makes the viewer completely comfortable. Both technically and conceptually her work is memorable, and we're sure to see more. She is painting the presidents in chronological order, and is only up to number 18.
