Provocative Paradox: Alec Monopoly's Lavish Art in Gentrified Wynwood

Monopoly's mural, adorned with symbols representing opulence against this backdrop, ignites discussions about the repercussions of gentrification on communities. It accentuates the stark disparity between the neighborhood's historical struggles and its present incarnation as an artistic nucleus. His art feels paradoxical, nestled amid the evolving scenery, challenging the appropriateness of flaunting signs of affluence within a community grappling with profound transitions.

Rich Uncle Pennybags as Tony Montana from Scarface by Alec Monopoly

Alec Monopoly dresses this Wynwood warehouse with Mr. Monopoly as Tony Montana . Very Miami. Unlike other street artists, Monopoly avoids vandalism—often painting on abandoned buildings and warehouses rather than government properties or businesses. His adoption of the board game character Mr. Monopoly as his mascot was inspired by the stockbroker Bernie Madoff and is intended as a criticism of the billion-dollar bailouts and deregulation associated with major banks.
