Obama in Barcelona
Election night happened just over two months ago. “Will he?won't he?” we all asked, and finally, on 4th November 2008 he did. Needless to say, Obama was the hot topic of 2008. These elections were truly electrifying, and they brought with them a sense of change for the future, an end to poor politics in the US and because of Obama's charisma and colour of his skin.
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 been mobilized to support Obama’s presidency, inspired by the vigor of his optimism, his views, and his lack of hidden agenda. Singers and actors, as well as artists, have shown their support for Obama in the media and through art.
The Cuban artist, Jorge Rodriguez Gerada displayed his support for the next President of the USA with his impressive work 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.
This work of art, named “Expectations” is a fitting title for such a piece, as it personifies the great sensation of hope that his supporters feel. Regardless of his triumph or defeat, Obama showed the US through his speeches that there is hope after a government like Bush's, this inspired the artist's piece. The impression these elections have left on the viewing public and the scale of the media surrounding Obama is shown in the art. 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.
