Gilbert and George first sprang to mine when talking about statements with literal meaning. The title of this piece is called "Flying shit" and its literally and image of that. With no subtlety to even base their work on, Gilbert and George are one of the most contriversial artists as they really do try and express how they feel about subjects, which isn't always pretty!
I think a good graphic designer would always have a double meaning to their work but there would have to be one obvious and one subtle so you have to stay interested in the work. I tend to natually use this technique and as a result I normally tend to create a piece with contradicting meanings. Ironic work is my favorate, it confuses the audience who are trying to understand my way of thinking.
