Robbie Conal creates poster artwork for ‘Contagion’
In “Contagion,” the latest movie from director Steven Soderbergh, a viral pandemic unleashes chaos on a global scale, resulting in mass panic and casualties in the millions. Among the key characters in this fast-moving story of paranoia and fear is a conspiracy-minded blogger named Alan Krumwiede, played by actor Jude Law.
Loud-mouthed, obnoxious and snaggle-toothed, Krumwiede suspects a conspiracy between pharmaceutical companies and the government. On his blog, he touts the powers of forsythia, a homeopathic remedy he thinks will effectively combat the MEV-1 virus.
For the movie, street artist Robbie Conal has created satirical posters depicting the fictional Krumwiede. Based in Los Angeles, Conal has gained fame for his grotesque depictions of public figures — ranging from politicians (Richard Nixon, Dick Cheney) to powerful media types (Rupert Murdoch) — which are plastered guerrilla-style in cities around the world.
