A recent Facebook post from street artist Brave One, brought my attention to the powerful image included below, that was painted on a wall somewhere in Manchester by an artist known as Akse.
Two faces and a couple of birds, that’s it.
There’s no need to explain who the faces belong to.
What they represent also goes without saying (painfully so).
The image does not depict a conversation that ever took place in real life. But then again… it totally is. A whole history lesson could (should?) be dedicated to that one image.
If you’re already envisioning this art piece as en edgy backdrop for your pensive-look-into-the-horizon instagram pic, don’t bother. The whole area is up for demolition and that specific wall has already been torn down.
If the image doesn’t do it for you, allow the artist himself to give you some context:
The timing of the image undoubtedly has to do with POTUS’ visit to the UK, where he will be meeting up with all sorts of high ranked people, most of whom he has insulted at some point over the last couple of months.
Perhaps the image of that demolition machine working it’s way through his angry face can offer some solace…
