NOTE: The Galleria 12-13 “U Nite Us” Obama show has been moved into the event described above. I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion. This page reflects the most current event information, as immediately as I can confirm it. Please feel free to write me with the message form below with any questions.
Just in time for the last days before election day the buyer, Mr. Francesco D’Alessandris, of my piece in MoveOn/ObeyGiant’s Obama art contest is organizing more Obama artworks to show in Rome. Many Obama artworks will be hung including work by other MoveOn/Obey finalists KC Willis and Nick Rock, to benefit the Obama election campaign from abroad. Both Nick Rock and I will be attending the event in person, and are scheduled for a public discussion. The “Obama and The New International Perspective” event at Theatre Ambra Jovinelli is very large umbrella event to celebrate the Obama campaign abroad. An enormous crowd is anticipated.
This will also be the public debut of the 12-inch tall, polymer clay Barack Obama Art Army action figure. Along with the figure and “grassroots” piece of mine, I’ll be porting several other works to show and sell for fund-raising, mostly made from two different stencils I made (samples below). The first was very simple and made in 2006 to get Obama off the ground, the second I made more recently to do t-shirts and such. To my utterly ecstatic surprise, the Italians are in love with Obama. Not only is it a testament to the intelligent, informed, and progressive nature of Europeans, it’s just another sign that the fractured world-wide perception of the U.S. will literally change overnight when Obama is elected.
