In a recent episode of Futurama on the FOX network, a clear reference is made to the iconic mosaic tile work by the artist INVADER, as the show’s robot character Bender is portrayed cementing tiles onto walls in many locations in the streets to form images which resemble a pixelized version of himself.
As neatly summarized and hyperlinked by Arrested Motion, this is the latest example of what has now been several instances of work by artists within the movement exhibited at Jonathan LeVine Gallery being referenced in popular animated TV series such as : Souther Salazar on Family Guy, Shepard Fairey on Family Guy, Shepard Fairey on South Park, and Ron English on The Simpsons.
