Ben Turnbull is a British artist best known for his collages which focus on American culture and politics , and most notably his I Do n't Like Mondays series ( 2008 ) , a title taken from a remark made by Brenda Spencer , the perpertator of the Cleveland Elementary School shooting ( San Diego ) and featured various weapons carved into school desks , a commentary on gun massacres in U.S. schools . America and Americana are a staple of Turnbull 's work – he has visited the country many times . In the various series it has inspired , a fierce critique of U.S culture is witnessed , in particular its politics , but also an affection and fascination which began from his boyhood when he was , like many of his generation , brought up on a diet of American TV programmes . This style has been dubbed ‘ angry pop ’ , an allusion to its power and harnessing of Pop Art sensibilities . His Superman series , is in part a tribute in part to the New York City fireman who lost their lives after the 9/11 attacks
