[edit] Work
Abdul Vas work broaches heavily the obsessions of his home country Venezuela with the symbols of the American dream. Heavily influenced by Marc Chagall and James Ensor Vas's work heavily consists of depictions of roosters that represent the masculine element of the American cowboy-culture. Therefore his pictures are full of references to the National Rifle Association, the American baseball team Cincinnati Reds or SUVs.
