President Trump. A Pop-Art Icon.

Whatever your stand may be on The Donald, you can not deny his impact on the current art scene. Politics and art may have never mixed better.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Part of acclaimed artist Frans Smit’s latest series called “Silence” - A vibrant take on the traditional portrait.

Artist Mindaugas Bonanu depicted the two locking lips in the artwork featured on the side of a barbecue restaurant in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. Next to the painting is the phrase “Make everything great again,” a play on Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”

An embedded infatuation with pop culture and politics drove Saint Hoax to share his PoPlitically Incorrect vision. Hoax combines tangible and digital mediums, such as a technique called lenticular printing, to create beautiful visual lies that tell an ugly truth. Lenticular printing allows the artwork to change as the image is viewed from different angles.

In the 1988 film They Live, ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper stands in the streets of Los Angeles and looks through a pair of propaganda busting sunglasses that reveal the hidden alien messages behind the city’s billboards. The ads encourage everyone to STAY ASLEEP, BUY, WATCH TV, MARRY AND REPRODUCE, and the command which New York artist Hal Hefner has adopted as the title of his viral series: CONSUME.

“Nobody so clearly defines the word CONSUME like Donald Trump.” He says.

In protest of Donald Trump’s sexist remarks suggesting Fox News presenter Megyn Kelly was tough on him because she was on her period, artist Sarah Levy created this portrait of Trump out of her own menstrual blood. She plans to donate the sales from the work to “an organization that helps Mexican immigrants in the U.S., because ol’ Don would hate that.”

Austrian street artist TABBY has created several imaginative depictions of Trump, including “Donald Tramp”, “Donald Troll”, and “Donald Trump, Love Yourself”.
