A rather lengthy discourse from the artist.

If he was a good artist, then he wouldn't be compelled to explain it or defend it.

 

[kokonut]

Because each of us has a different perception on what a painting is supposed to express. And since people had a lot of questions and were twisting some things, he felt compelled to nip in the bud and explain fully about the painting, why he did it and such. People were misconstruing what the painting was about. Go to a painting gallery and see the many types of paintings from abstract to realism. You have the artist's perception and meaning versus what the public sees.

nice portrait. very thought-provoking. nice link.

curious - do you agree with artist's comment

3. It is not a partisan painting. I take no favoritism of Republicans or Democrats. Both parties are guilty.

That's a great message therein!

I'd say so. I hope this painting get a lot of news coverage soon.

Lol, art and politics do not need to be explicitly mixed. When they do it becomes PROPAGANDA.

A true work of art is inherently political without being didactic.

This "artist" is a talentless hack.

It's a great painting that sends a message. A true work of art is in the eye of the beholder.
