Elections, elections … The attitude of the people towards them is specific, but everyone understands that this cannot be done without it in a modern democratic society, and they try to extract the maximum benefit for themselves from each election campaign. Someone makes money, someone builds a career, and a Brazilian artist Jarbas Lopes found his muse in politics, which helped him create a funny art project "O Debate", a series of "pictures" with ironic overtones. However, the picture is a rather conventional name. The O Debate series consists of creatively rethought and artistic portraits of politicians, both famous and unknown campaigners, whom the public knows only thanks to posters, leaflets, videos and huge posters placed on the streets of the city. The artist collects these posters and posters, prioritizing those printed on vinyl or plastic, and then combining them to create portraits of political hybrids.
Jarbas Lopez cuts the "trophy" propaganda materials into long strips, and then weaves something like rugs or mats out of them, on which the image of a human face is then displayed. And although the features of some famous people remain recognizable, each hybrid consists of a whole galaxy of politicians, which is easy to see with the naked eye. Thus, the author makes us understand that politicians, in fact, are made of the same test, even though they are on opposite sides of the barricades, and each in his own way places accents in his election speeches from the rostrum.
The art project "O Debate" by its author, Jarbas Lopes, created on the basis of portraits of both world famous political figures like Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton, and with the participation of local Brazilian politicians.
