Revolutionary Art Galleries

Several days have gone by and I regret not writing. Here I sit in Roberto's crib as I await my ride back to university. Thinking about what to write, I am seriously awed by the revolutionary art work that is up on the walls around me. What I really like about this trendy artwork is that it has a story behind it. It reminds me of Banksy's artwork, which advocates against violence and injustice. What I also really like how it is quite satirical of society. Its a mix of revolutionary communist propaganda. What's also really amazing about this stuff is that much of it has an oriental twist to it. Check the artwork at The Giant and Obey's website.

This is obviously very underground art work, but what's interesting is that this communist style propaganda is that it came back during this presidential election. Some might take it as a scary cult like Obama propaganda that emulates the kind of propaganda of Maoism, but its actually really influential artwork that depicts Obama as a visionary, idealist, and whatnot... Anyways, below is a photo I took at the Obama Campaign Office downtown. Even though the election is over, it still hangs high.
