I don't see the appeal tbh. It's just 'ironically' bad photoshopping with a bit of whoever's in the news to make it 'satirical'.

I agree... there are many better examples of political works of art in the newspapers every weekend. |  | | |

It is also an allusion to a piece of classic art but I haven't figured out what that is yet. |  |

Narcissus.
That’s top-quality satire. |  |

Was about to say no whoosh but are you sure, now that I have Googled the Cossiers I have to echo Darth and say that the montage is sickly wonderful. | |

He’s a wonderful artist of the people. Warming back story and deserves all the plaudits he gets. Some of his work is hilarious, other dark and cutting. I’ve been a fan (almost) since day one. |  |

Indeed. You need the context of the original painting.
For anyone else who didn't know, like me: "Cossiers with Narcissus has the named figure looking longingly at his own reflection in a pool, for Narcissus could love no one but himself. Despite the pleadings of nymphs, Narcissus would die there by the pool looking at his reflection."
I kind of understand Badger's point, but this is an incredible poignant and powerful piece (irrespective of the approach to the photoshopping). |  |

Well exactly.
The point isn't supposed to be in the quality of the photo-shopping, if anything I would have thought the idea was it's not meant to be polished.
The point is in the message. I like his stuff. Some days it makes you laugh, other pieces such as the one above just makes you sad. But they have an accurate take on the current situation. |  |

Exactly this. There have been many times I’ve had to scroll through the twitter replies to fully understand the original work. It’s smart art. Devastatingly brutal at times. | |

Yeah, most of it goes over my head tbh. I pretty much dismissed this one at first until I knew the source of the figure, and then saw the reflection. It is brutal indeed, and quite uncomfortable to look at for any length of time. His one yesterday nailed the apparent view of the Home Sec too.
