Just fyi, that's his portrait for the National Portrait Gallery, which is almost always artsy nonsense, while the official White House portrait is always more traditional. Awesome --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

The painter's whole thing is patterned backgrounds. There's no pattern there. The repetition is clearly meant to be obfuscated. --- Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. -George Orwell ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've cracked another case wide open Hilariously, those shapes you circled actually aren't the same dimensions The leaves in the background of the portrait are literally copied and pasted without any variation at all --- Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. -George Orwell ...

FWIW, the "hidden in background" thing is sort of a theme in this artist's work: Why did he put so little effort in Barak and Michelle's portraits tho? --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

hilariously I didn't circle anything, those are called rectangles. After learning shapes maybe you can learn about jokes, and from there work your way up to art --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I still wanted to point out though that making those rectangles still required more effort than cloning the same leaves 7 times did. --- Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. -George Orwell ...
