Just Couldnt Say
Obama Artwork in Barcelona
Obama’s big night happened only two months ago. “Will he?, won’t he?” we all asked, and finally, on 4th November 2008 he did. Needless to say, Obama stole the limelight in 2008. After Bush’s policies in recent years, the elections symbolised a big change in America and the possible election of the first black american president.
Perhaps most importantly for the millions of Americans who voted for Obama in the elections are the key virtues that Obama represents; hope, optimism and security for the future, feelings that McCain just couldn’t stir up in the general public.
Many artists have felt the need to support Obama’s presidency, inspired by the enthusiasm of his optimism, his views, and his sincerity. Singers and actors, as well as artists, have shown their support for Obama in the media and through art.
Showing his support for the future president Barack Obama, Jorge Rodriguez Gerada created a grandiose piece of art. In fact, it was so grandiose that it covered the forum beach in Barcelona close to many apartments in barcelona, and was a enormous depiction of the new President’s head (139×82), created by a small army of volunteers and contributors, made from plaster and sand in different colours and depicting the contours of the best known face of 2008.
Obama’s supporters have great hopes and wishes for America and this is why the Cuban artist named his piece “Expecations”. The need for change in the US after years of “Bushisms” was awoken by Obama regardless of his triumph or defeat in the elections and thus the artist created the artwork in the hope of the former. The scale of the art reflects the enormity of Obama’s influence on the viewing public and the scale to which the world has watched with baited breath. Not only this, but the artist chose this particular location for the artwork, (which was picked up by Google Earth satellites) because of the multifaceted nature of Barcelona, a multicultural capital that is full to the brim of Europeans, North Africans and North, South and Central Americans, who fill many apartments barcelona.
More art will almost certainly be dedicated to the future president due to his inspiritational nature, we can only wait to see what changes he can bring as president.
