About this artwork
This art piece, titled "I Want You," is a vibrant and rebellious take on the iconic Uncle Sam poster. The central figure is reimagined with expressive, almost caricature-like features, engulfed in a chaos of vivid graffiti-style elements. A bold neon pink strike through the image creates a sense of defiance, while tags, symbols, and splashes of color give it a modern, urban edge. The classic "I WANT YOU" slogan is retained, yet subverted by the surrounding anarchy, reflecting a tension between authority and individuality. The artist's signature, Papayon, marks its identity, hinting at a commentary on nationalism and the call to service through the lens of contemporary street art aesthetics.
