A yuuuge painted mural titled “American Gravity” can be found in Barcelona’s Poble-Sec neighborhood. The piece features a caricature of Trump flaunting flag-tattooed muscles, spittle flying from his lips as he squints against the harsh light of the outside world. Not exactly unprecedented, or should that be unpresidented?.
Das Boobs
Guilt by association? Donald Trump’s third wife Melania often finds herself tarred, as it were, with the same brush when it comes to graffiti depictions of her hubby. Controversial Melbourne-based graffiti artist Lushsux made headlines most recently with his oversized “Taylor Smith” mural and in July of 2016 turned his attention to Melania. The original work left little or nothing to the imagination (view the uncensored version here) but Lushsux later modified the image with a pair of strategically-placed Donald heads to ensure city authorities would leave the mural alone.
Make America Egg-cellent
Something’s rotten in Shoreditch, at least it sure smells like it. The mural above, by graffiti artist Furia, displays the artist’s obvious wealth of talent but it’s his “finishing touch” that really sets it off.
“The mural was conceived as a performative work of art,” explains Furia. “It’s not only about the image in itself but as a way of engaging the public into participating in the action. After the mural was conceived, I asked members of the public to throw eggs at the image.” Looks like the yolk’s on you, Donald.
Take The Money & Run
Look carefully: no doubt many of you will see a latter-day Robin Hood (or Richie Rich) pick-pocketing the evil globalist profiteers and repatriating all those greenbacks to their rightful ‘Murican owners. Yeah, that’s the ticket! One thing’s for certain, the next four years are going to be very interesting… as in ancient Chinese proverb interesting.
