MAKING PROTEST ART GREAT AGAIN
Artists from around the world are sticking it to the man by creating controversial protest art.
Here are five distorted versions of Trump that show some real comical talent.
Baby Dick
by Illma Gore
Feminist artist Illma Gore
exploits this insecurity and
questions the role of power
and gender by showing the
‘most powerful man on
earth’ to have an inch of a
penis. The protest painting
has gone viral leading to
Facebook banning her
completely. The artistic
attack on his privates- or
lack of- has stirred up
Trump supporters to
physically abuse Illma
and for Trump himself to
threaten her with litigation
if the ‘nude’ is not
removed. In response she
has uploaded the painting
for free downloading on
her website
www.illmagore.com.
