David Macaluso has an interesting material source for his paintings: “I came across your website today for the first time and wanted to share with you my Obama Art, that I made from used motor oil from car engines– both as an act of Recycling and commenting on the global energy climate and the green economy.” Full version and a second painting after the jump.
Jamullah artist Grant Wallace just sent in this lovely abstract piece simply called Obama: “utilizes flow and automatism in this painting. Soft colors and emotional latitude help capture the moving nature of Obama’s presidency.”
Pop Artist Paco Chika shares this fantastic painting: “Following this creative torpor, at last I returned to pick up the brush. I am sending this new work dedicated to President Barack Obama. I hope you enjoy it and that someday it can hang in the White House.”
Reader Tony sent us a link to Alaa Hegazi’s photostream. Alaa has some amazing work and we really dig his latest painting entitled: “Obama spontaneous”. Not much information is given, but the painting looks to be at least 4′ tall.
If you think that the cropped image below is surreal - jump inside and prepare to have your mind blown. This acrylic on canvas titled ‘.gov’ was created by “Nashville, TN-based surrealist artist named Donny Smutz and it will be premiering at the Tinney Contemporary Gallery this Saturday June 6. The Nashville Scene, the town’s alternative weekly newspaper, ran the cropped photo in its “critics pics” section in the print edition that came out today.”
A whimsical 2-color lithograph magazine cover from FreshPress’ photostream. It features Obama as space man, lady liberty in one hand and a ray gun zapping a caduceus in the other. There is also a 3-color version available.
