In all his glory … Lennart G\u00e4bel’s potty depiction of Donald Trump I (Lennart G\u00e4bel)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

These elections have been long and tiresome, with plenty of animosity on either side.<\/p>\n

However, from every democratically controversial event in history, comes a wealth of incredible art and music.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve collected some of the awe-inspiring political work artists have already done, and it is plain to see the distain from within the creative contemporary world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Dave MacDowell<\/h3>\n

MacDowell doesn\u2019t hold back with his creatively vivid, colorful pieces.<\/p>\n

His work features dark humour and satire, combined with popular culture.<\/p>\n

These specific acrylic works are pretty shocking to look at, but they cannot get much more shocking than this election as a whole.<\/p>\n

4. Tony Pro<\/h3>\n

Pro is a contemporary artist born in Northridge, California in 1973.<\/p>\n

The self-trained painter embraces romanticism in painting through his figures, portraits, still-lifes or landscapes, and produced similar works featuring the clown outfit seen here.<\/p>\n

1. Lennart G\u00e4bel<\/h3>\n

G\u00e4bel is based in Hamburg, Germany, and does various different types of work, including satire and illustration.<\/p>\n

He even created a visualization of Trump’s famous quote about grabbing women by the “pussy”.<\/p>\n

These pieces help alleviate the certain doom implied by the US election results, by inspiring positivity.<\/p>\n

Art has restored cities and stopped wars, and hopefully these events will continue to inspire revolutionary work that will make history again.<\/p>\n
