Victor Powell (*theartyst), the creator of this artwork, suggested himself for this DD with the following:
"Taking approximately 800 hours to complete, the 48" x 48" oil painting Everybodies Beautiful is much more than Times Square being over-run by mannequins. It's my way of taking a jab at the ever-growing ever-addicting plastic surgery phenomenon, and if you look even closer, you'll see that I'm using road construction as a metaphor for plastic surgery. The setting is in Times Square, because I believe that's the center of everything (well, especially business wise) and it's a place that has changed to the hub of constant advertisements - telling us what to wear, how to look, where to go to and what to buy."
