Spotted in photostream and simply noted as: “White House, Carlito Brigante visits Washington DC”. What a great mix of location, stencil and media. However, the placement of the whole does remind me of this strange comic.
Normally, we only post art that explicitly represents the likeness of Barack Obama. So, this one from Dickson Brown was almost deleted outright. That would have been a shame… Jump inside to learn why this image is so powerful.
sends in another great work: “This sculpture was inspired by the photo the Obamas used on a holiday greeting card. Fired stoneware painted with acrylics, 5 [inches tall]”
