"A4.- King of Shit 1" Mixed Media Trump Portrait

Artist Statement — King of 💩

Screen print, oil pastel, paint marker, pen on paper; collaged onto canvas

“King of 💩” is a six-part mixed-media series exploring the absurd theatrics of political celebrity in the age of AI spectacle. Inspired by a satirical, AI-style video circulating online—depicting Donald Trump flying a jet and dropping waste on American citizens—the work reflects on how digital fantasy and public identity collapse into a single chaotic loop.

Each portrait presents a crowned figure marked with an emoji-like emblem of excrement, transforming the traditional image of authority into grotesque parody. The crown becomes both jewel and joke: a symbol of influence warped by ego, excess, and spectacle.
