Jesus, his hands are bigger than his head and half the size of his legs.

The one on the right is a Duran Duran Album Cover where the face was darkened.

Is that Michelle's knee her left arm is draped on or her hard on?

Are they trying to make Obama look like an octaroon Chet Brinkley?

Michelle looks way too feminine in that painting.
4   Strategist   2018 Feb 12, 4:16pm  

Very bad portraits.

I'm trying to think of a nice place to hang those portraits so everyone can enjoy them. Hmmmm, let me think...



Anyone have any good ideas for portrait holders?

It looks like there is a black "bolt" sticking out of the left side of his neck? Frankenstein maybe?

True, and we can't see her "package" in that dress like some of the other pictures of her.

Exactly!

I'm convinced even the Obama's hate it.
This is what happens when you choose a portrait painter by the color of his skin, rather than the quality of his skills.
8   Shaman   2018 Feb 12, 7:28pm  

Maybe the painter was from Wakanda?
9   Patrick   2018 Feb 12, 7:37pm  

This is impressive. Did you do it yourself? Photoshop?

Obama's portrait doesn't even compare to any of the previous presidential portraits it's so awful it looks like a joke.

Did Artist Give Obama an Extra Finger to Go with His Freakishly Large Hands?

Let's begin with the odd background of the painting, which looks like a cross between a Caribbean street mural and Fenway Park's Big Green Monster. It's supposed to be some sort of homage to Obama's roots in Chicago, Kenya, and Hawaii or something:

To me, it kinda looks like poison sumac, which has some itchy implications for the former POTUS. You be the judge:



But after you get past the shock of that garish background, you realize there are some other oddities in this portrait, created by left-wing artist Kehinde Wiley.

But let's forget all that for now and focus on the freakishly large hands. Those paws nearly span the distance from his wrist to his elbow. Is yours anywhere close to the length of your forearm? No? Mine either, and neither is anyone else's except maybe Andre the Giant.

Was the artist making a statement about Trump's notoriously small digits? We'll probably never know, but we can do the math. To punctuate his point, it seems Wiley may have given Obama an extra finger. Look closely and you tell me:



Why does Obama have an extra finger tucked behind his others?

The portrait is OK, I guess, other than the unusually large hands. Oh, and the chair is out of perspective with the body. Either that or it's missing an arm, and Obama's left butt cheek is hanging off the side. I'm sure it's on purpose, but I'm not sure what the point is. If the artist, Kehinde Wiley, is trying to evoke a postmodern Naïve art style, maybe he considers it a success.

That is not Michelle. Obozo I see the resemblance.

IS it racism that the Obamas chose two black artists to do their portraits? Black pride?

Not but I'm not surprised, when I first saw it, I was wondering how long before the Homer Simpson hedge fade was invoked.

Kehinde Wiley, painter of Obama's portrait, likes to depict Black People beheading Whites. Here are some other pieces of "art" by the "artist"

22   Tenpoundbass   2018 Feb 13, 12:29pm  

This is why Obama deserves his own liquorish scented Toilet bowl freshener in his Bust likeness.

These paintings were sooooo bad I had to look up if all this was real: https://www.snopes.com/kehinde-wiley-painted-black-woman-severed-head/

Ouch. Bad look for Obama. The art itself is utter shit. There is no redeeming quality. I think both teams can agree on this. Can anyone tell me how/why this is good art?
25   Tenpoundbass   2018 Feb 13, 5:30pm  

They rejected Clint Eastwood's portrait of Obama

26   Ceffer   2018 Feb 13, 5:40pm  

No portrait of Obama is complete without his teleprompter.

So since Obama is half white-will the artist paint Obama beheading himself??
28   Ceffer   2018 Feb 13, 6:16pm  

A few severed honky female heads in Obama's portrait would be so Mandingo.

"Black Pride" seems to suggest racism. Why not use the most qualified, regardless of skin color? I doubt if they have any pride in their portraits.

They already sell Obama (and yes Bush too) targets at the shooting range nearby. Obama target was a very popular one few years back, now no one cares anymore.

Kehindi would be better off designing ugly wall paper.

It looks the artist of the Obama portrait got really excited about finding the stamp tool in Photoshop.


He must have clone brushed the hand, too, but forgot to drop the extra finger.

Obama's bukake money shot portrait.

Seems like Obama hated it so much, he jacked off on it.

Still much better than Michelle's portrait, which looks like someone at the beach quickly drew it for $20.00.
