Sam McKinniss's new exhibition "Law and Order" at Jeffrey Deitch in New York presents paintings of viral and iconic figures, including Jeremy Meeks, Luigi Mangione, Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl, and riderless horses running through urban streets. The show explores how social media blurs the lines between advertising, entertainment, and politics, capturing the experience of scrolling through online content. The article, part of ARTnews's Link Rot column by Shanti Escalante-De Mattei, examines McKinniss's attempt to illustrate the feeling of living in contemporary America through curated images of law enforcers and law breakers.
