Barack Obama art inspired the world with paintings, posters, and collectible stickers throughout the 2008 political campaign season. Artist Michael Cuffe created “The Obama Experiment” to offer Obama supporters fine political art prints that are new, fresh, and affordable….because everyone deserves art to remember this time of change!

The posters and stenciled graffiti appeared one night out of nowhere, slapped by unseen hands on street corners and boarded buildings around the city. Each poster bore the image of a determined-looking Barack Obama - painted in warm hues and ringed with sun rays. “It stopped me in my tracks,” said John Stoops, 34, a collector of street art who spotted one poster on a construction barrier. “I thought, `Who’s doing this?’”
Glennys Anglada, a graphic designer from the Dominican Republic has put together one of the best collection of Obama art I have seen yet. She recently shared with us and art exhibit she orgainized at International Business School in the Dominican Republic. The opening date was NOV 18th and it will be up until January 31, 2009. Glennys shared the following:
As a graphic designer, I have being impressed with the work of so many artists supporting Obama and how for the first time a political art movement contributed to change on November 4th. So I can educate,illustrate and inspire others in the same field, I’m having an exhibit of my personal collection of Obama poster and Obama Art in an International Business School in the Dominican Republic. The opening date was NOV 18th and it will be up until January 31, 2009. It is a great honor to spread around the art of these unprecedent political-cultural art movement. As a collector, have to say that when I acquire the first poster I never thought it will lead into a great 70+ poster collection, including a few of my own. The many hours, days and months consumed by searching, blogging, reading and bidding have paid of in a good way. The political-cultural art movement that Obama’s image and message have initiated has touch many artists. The exhibit is about art, is about propaganda, is about a movement, is about a collector’s passion to acquire and an artist’s passion to create. Is my personal way to show in my country the president elect “Barack Obama as viewed by artists”.
