Description
Finally finished
Oil on canvas 50*70 cm
Detail of the head here: [link]
I was wondering where to put this in surreal or political and I finally opted for political but I consider it's halh half
I had a lot of fun doing this
But gush heads are hard to paint reallistically. It was my first painting of a face and my tacher helped me a bit on it
I think it doesn't need any explanations

Well, first of all sorry for my ultralate comment... lots of stuff in my devwatch
More or less I told you what I though, it's indeed a clear political piece but as I'm a ballbreaker I'm here to point out some things
The idea of mixing surreal and political is very good and is the strong point of the painting.
Compositively, well, it is completely impossible to find a focus point. The monkeys grab too much attention because of the harder tones they have in comparison to the rest of the picture, and the pig comes out from the "two cubes rule" (I'll explain that later in msn if you want). Also the birdie-alike thing I think should be placed more to the right so a triangular composition should be more or less created to balance things.
Bush's portrait is really good, but the refinement of it it's way far that the pulishment of the rest of the piece. If you see, in the rest of things the brushstrokes are so hard and not completely blended while in Bush they're very well blended.
Also I notice you outlined all elements. I ignore if that was your intention as expressive tool, but judging to teh way everything else has been painted, I wonder if you wanted to create a blended and balanced scene (outlining destructs blending).
I think you can work more in this work, there are things you cannot change like the placement of things but you can redefine more the elements to create a similar feel in all the painting. or maybe even add more elements to balance the composition. That's up to you.
But apart of my tiring and boring critique I think you're doing good at your concepts, keep it up!

hahaha, like I said, this is funny. There's a sort of surrealistic concept in the way that Bush's face is not directly related to the other elements in the picture, but you still a general picture about the theme (Bush has always been compared to monkeys, although I consider that an insult to the latter's intelligence
