An amusing find...

Whilst doing some research into the election parties manifesto's and deciding to work out who to vote for, I came across this piece of art which was projected onto The Houses of Parliment during the second leaders debate.

In the light of all the debates that are currently happening in relation to who we think should be running the country, I found this piece of art really amusing. It shows mocked up images of the three leaders as classic Street Figher characters. The piece shows Nick Clegg, Gordon Brown and David Cameron resorting to physical violence when in fact they were trading verbal blows. Who it has been created by we just don't know.

In the past, artists have also responded to the actions of our country's leaders. Here is one example which shows Tony Blair our last PM being hung with the word 'Sorry':


It will certainly be interesting to see what happens in the elections and who gets into power. Use your vote people! :-)

Will there be an aftermath? Will artists respond to and interpret the decision that we make as a society? Only time will tell...
