See also my Artlyst interview with Carreon at https://www.artlyst.com/features/louis-carreon-sampling-art-history-interview-revd-jonathan-evens/:
'With a background in tagging, rapping, skateboarding and surfing, Californian-born Louis Carreon is a street artist who is currently sampling art history, and its religious iconography in particular... Carreon ... riffs off imagery appropriated from the likes of El Greco, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Peter Paul Rubens and Michelangelo Merisi Caravaggio to disrupt and re-present images of the greats in ways to which young people can relate.'
