5. Miss America (2012) by Kent Monkman
The central figure of this painting is Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, who is riding an alligator and holding a feather, engaging with characters such as a British soldier, a basketball player, and a mermaid. The painting features a triangular, Rococo-style composition. There's lots going on here and it's very colourful.
