Channel your inner royal as the Galactic and Napoleonic empires collide together in glorious harmony in Strike Force Fuel. Blurring the boundaries between time and space, history and sci-fi, the painting re-imagines Star Wars’ fearless Rebel Alliance leader Princess Leia as the infamous French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Commanding and poised, Leia is an empress flexing her power as she channels Napoleon’s iconic, steely gaze and his regal, imposing authority, embodying both the spunky courage that made her such a fierce and beloved leader with the legendary statesmanship of Napoleon at his peak. Leia’s transformation, while initially unexpected, provides an empowering vision of an alternate reality where a woman can ascend to the levels of power and influence historically only afforded to men. Romeo ingeniously draws parallels between Princess Leia and Napoleon as fierce strategists and divisive national heroes, blending the galactic rebellion of Star Wars with the historical military prowess of France’s greatest general in a delectable slice of Kitsch Pop revisionism. Despite coming from very different worlds, Leia and Napoleon are leaders addicted to the rush of their ‘Legacy Fix’ and committed to ensuring that their ‘Legacy Lives’ on forever in the annals of history and Pop culture. Tongue firmly in cheek, the title Strike Force Fuel evokes a neon-drenched world where the space-age fuel of lightsabres and hyperdrive meets the horse-fuelled charge of cavalry, giving Romeo’s Napoleonic Leia the necessary power to strike.
