Tåkefyrsten/Trump 2

This large oil painting by Trond Berg-Nilssen carries a powerful and unmistakable symbolism: two outstretched hands giving a thumbs up, while the person behind them is barely visible in a fog of uncertainty and deceit. The hands, painted in realistic detail, stand for manipulation and charm — they lend a false confidence and power, while the face, hovering and almost invisible, reflects a person governed by lies and deception. The dark background creates an intense, provocative atmosphere. The work is a critique of how Trump has used his charisma to confuse and manipulate without taking responsibility for the consequences.
