Description of Art: Liberty showcases Michael Godard’s signature whimsical style, where playful characters and clever symbolism merge with bold pop-art flair. In this work, the theme of freedom is reinterpreted through Godard’s iconic olives and martini-glass world. A central figure—often an olive character—appears in a celebratory or heroic pose, embodying the spirit of liberty with humor and charm.
The background is sleek and dramatic, typically a dark field that makes the bright greens, reds, and metallic highlights of the characters and props stand out in sharp contrast. Subtle details—sparkling reflections, miniature props, or patriotic elements—add layers of wit and narrative.
In Liberty, Godard transforms a timeless concept into a playful, lighthearted vision. Both satirical and celebratory, the piece reflects his hallmark approach: turning serious themes into entertaining, highly stylized visual stories filled with personality and fun.
