Guns, fascism and Julie Andrews: the 'Angry Pop' artist taking on Trump’s America

MAGASound - (Ben Turnbull)

Julie Andrews spins on a hilltop, her face alive with glee, as she whirls through a field of American flag swastika flowers, a gun in each hand, while nukes are launched from the mountains beyond. Above her are the words ‘The Sound of Maga’.

“We put that image up in Texas and they tore it down,” says the artist who created this work, Ben Turnbull, “They tore down the whole bottom section but left Julie Andrews' head and arms holding the guns. I actually thought it looked really good like that. But clearly they were just very angry about the American swastika. But this is America First again. Things have gone back to the 30s.”
