Pancake Art

I love Dan Lacey and clearly Dan Lacey loves pancakes. On heads. Of famous people and irrational numbers... and weather systems.


Hurricane Gustav (and Pancake)


Pi


Mother Theresa


Alan Greenspan


Barack Obama


In the last painting it is clearly a slice of lemon pie on barack Obama's head. It should be a pancake. We, the art viewers, have been led to expect this. The lemon pie betrays us.

So, how do we explain this offensive anomaly from the world-reknowned pancake portraitist? This pie reasserts the artist's control over our expectations.

He wins.
