Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot by Megs.io.

Black Sheep, Scapegoats and Underdogs an ongoing artist collab.

The archetype of the blacksheep, scapegoat and underdog is found when defiance of power is met with consequence and when hope is needed in times of despair. In the face of tyranny, oppression, and ostracism these individuals are elevated into contemporary consciousness to fight another day, risking their reputations and often their very lives for what they believe is right.

From the mundanity of interpersonal relationships to sweeping ideological movements, these archetypes appear wherever there is a sense of disproportionate power and principles. These timeless characters dominate the annals of history and form the foundations of myth and legend. It is no surprise then that people continue to recognize themselves in these individuals as many have experienced the unenviable position of blacksheep, scapegoat or underdog in their own life.

This pervasive theme is a dangerous and necessary expression of the human condition.

Bright colours and playfully arranged imagery are juxtaposed against the mischief and symbol-heavy subtext of this composition. This piece reaches across time to examine polarizing figures past and present who have embodied the concept of 'blacksheep, scapegoats and underdogs.' These people and their controversial stories have and will continue to significantly impact generations.
