Homeland by Sliman Anis Mansour, 2010 (charcoal and acrylic on canvas)
#slimananismansour #art #painting #drawing #politicalart

The painting, made with charcoal and acrylic on canvas, uses a restricted palette of black, white, and brown to create an emotionally charged atmosphere of sorrow.
It portrays crowds of people packed into narrow, high-walled hallways, visually representing the conditions in checkpoint terminals and border crossings.

Socialism or Barbarism

Quote by Rosa Luxemburg. Either we can build a socialist society based on democracy, equity, and human need, or we can descend further into the barbaric capitalist hellscape that has humanity by the throat.

Art here is not neutral.
It watches.
It resists.
A pig calls Mr. Ptreaident
standing opposite a man who tried to make himself one.

My pencil drawing from 2022, calling out the NRA, weapons manufacturers and dealers as being purveyors of mass murder in the US and now world wide. The head up ass syndrome on guns never stops.

Le Pardon by Shadi Alzaqzouq, 2017 (oil on canvas)
#shadialzaqzouq #art #painting #politicalart #palestine

Overall Scene: A surreal, politically charged painting set in a desolate, rocky landscape under a dramatic red and orange sky. A concrete separation wall with graffiti reading "JUSTICE" and "PREVAILING PEACE" is in the background.
Central Figures: A woman in traditional Palestinian dress sits on the ground, holding the bloodied body of a man wearing ripped jeans in a pose reminiscent of a Pietà.
Side Figures: Two women dressed as cheerleaders in red and white outfits with pom-poms stand on either side of a gold framed painting, smiling and posing.
The cheerleaders hold a large, ornate gold frame behind the central figures, containing a black and white image of a prison cell with several human figures and skulls stacked on shelves, and one standing man.
Foreground Details: Debris, rocks, a broken bottle, and an empty plastic bottle are scattered on the ground in the foreground.

Tornado by Abdul Rahman Katanani, 2015 (barbed wire)
#AbdulRahmanKatanani #art #sculpture #contemporaryart #politicalart #palestine

A large, swirling art installation made entirely of barbed wire, shaped like a tornado or funnel cloud, is suspended from a white ceiling in an art gallery. The piece is titled "Tornado" by artist Abdul Rahman Katanani. The material, barbed wire, is symbolic of the occupation and the Palestinian cause.

#Art #PoliticalArt #DesignActivism #DystopianArt #Illustration #ProtestArt #ArtAsResistance #PostTruth #Booksky #Equality

Poster-style artwork by Monkey Chéri showing the silhouette of the Statue of Liberty behind the large text ‘… THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL*’. Beneath it, a long block of dense fine print lists dystopian legal ‘conditions’ that undermine equality through loopholes, algorithmic bias, economic restrictions, surveillance rules, and political exceptions. The tone is dark and authoritarian, with distressed textures and muted colors.
