A provocative artist, Brian Whiteley<\/a>, announced that he hung one of his works in a hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, which is located 15 min away from the White House, in a room \u2116435 on the first of August 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his email to American publishing company <\/span>Hyperallergic<\/a>, <\/span><\/i>Whiteley declared that a lot of guests had stayed in a room \u2116 435 after he placed the picture: and it seems like no one was even bothered by this piece of art because there were no complaints. The artist connects this situation with an idea that people are undoubtedly devoted to Trump regardless of the political course he embraces.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this painting, we can see Vladimir Putin sitting on a chair. Behind him, there is the White House, above which we can notice darkening shades and storm clouds, resembling the beginning of the Apocalypse. The interesting detail is that the Russian President wears Donald Trump\u2019s red tie that unites them and \u2014 according to the artist \u2014 captures the essence of a \u00abcult of authoritarianism\u00bb created by Trump in the US.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Whiteley\u2019s close friend \u2014 willing to stay anonymous \u2014 commented on this situation to the magazine <\/span>Hyperallergic<\/span><\/i><\/a> telling that they booked the room for a night specially to hang the painting. After, they went out drinking and later asked some Trump supporters to come over to their room. When they saw a painting, one of them said: \u00ab<\/span>Putin, fuck yeah\u00bb<\/span>, which totally surprised him away.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, Brian Whiteley frequently uses his art to express his opinion on Trump\u2019s politics. For instance, in March 2016 he placed a tombstone<\/a> signed \u00abTrump, Donald J.\u00bb with an epitaph: \u00abMade America Hate Again\u00bb in Central Park. The work was removed after three hours, but still managed to become an Internet hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now it is impossible to see the painting \u00a0because, according to Whiteley, the artist returned to the hotel and took back his masterpiece after a month. And only then he was noticed by security and he got escorted<\/a> from the hotel as quickly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the hotel\u2019s administration claims<\/a> the whole story to be fabricated and none of these happened for real.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is difficult to say if the painting of Vladimir Putin truly had been placed in Donald Trump\u2019s suite or if it is really nothing more than just a good PR method, but anyways it cause a wide resonance in society and it is going to be discussed for a while.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
