The artwork titled “Obama Foreign Policy” is painted by artist Jon McNaughton using the medium of oil. Falling under the art movements of Social Realism and Kitsch, this symbolic painting and caricature measures 27.94 x 35.56 cm.
In the artwork, a figure is depicted mid-swing on a golf course, with a wide smile on his face. The PGA tour-like scene contrasts starkly with the horrifying backdrop, a large explosion with fiery hues and dark smoke, symbolizing chaos. This incongruity between the calm demeanor of the golfer and the turbulent setting behind him suggests a critique of foreign policy. The painting uses vibrant colors and detailed brushwork to convey its symbolic message, embedding social and political commentary within its composition.
