Political Pure Products

Pure Products of America is a series of artworks by Ligorano Reese featuring various American consumer products.

The duo creates these pieces to explore and comment on American consumer culture, branding, and the impact of mass-produced items on society.

Each artwork in the series typically represents a specific product in a thought-provoking and sometimes satirical way.

Line Up is a provocative art project created as a commentary about when members of Bush's cabinet misled the American public. The project involves a series of satirical "mug shots" of key figures from the Bush administration.

Ligorano Reese's Line Up was published as a postcard book and as a signed limited edition. The New York Public Library acquired the first portfolio. When the Library exhibited the prints in 2007, it caused mountains of controversy on FoxNews and conservative websites.
