Dan Proops, ”Google’ oil on canvas 40" by 48"’, 2008. Courtesy: Dan Proops. Proops feels that the Google home page is one of, if not the most iconic images of our time. It is the most important ‘gateway’ in the world. It is a powerful statement to paint the Google homepage. By transposing Google into oil on canvas Proops is making a comment on the huge cultural and sociological impact Google and the Internet has made on all of our lives.
