A Teenagerâs âHannibalâ Fan Art Will Hang in the U.S. Capitol
Representative Andy Kim of New Jersey, who picked the painting to represent his district in the Capitol, did not know it was inspired by a canceled TV show.

To the untrained eye, the Cubist artwork painted by Kathleen Palmer, a senior at Shawnee High School in New Jersey, would appear to show two men looking at each other.

Hannibal fan art will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol, and Bryan Fuller is loving it Christian Holub
There s still no news of a potential season 4 for the beloved horror series
Hannibal, but Fannibals everywhere can at least take solace in the fact that a piece of fan art for the show will soon be enshrined in the U.S. Capitol.
Every year, the U.S. House of Representatives hosts the Congressional Art Competition, a nationwide high school visual art contest. Participating representatives solicit entries from high school students in their district, and panels of district artists select the winning entries. Winners are recognized both in their district and at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., and the winning works are displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol building.
