The Obamas’ recent portraits were released to much-fanfare, leading to a divide in public opinion over whether they were actually good.

Everyone’s a critic.

As people began to dissect the portraits, an interesting pattern emerged.
The honest truth is that if either of these #ObamaPortraits showed up as tattoos on the show @inkmaster the “artists” would have been at the bottom and one would have went home this episode with the other going home the next week. pic.twitter.com/rHPBA2w9tc

Chris Loesch, artist and husband to NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch, helped draw attention to it.

“The Art Of Copy/Pasta: Ctrl+V, and how my TL took the art world by dust storm,” @VapidEcho wrote. Take a closer look.
You see that? A recurring pattern in the leaves. Also, Loesch noted the odd lighting.
I wonder if he copied the photoshop brush strokes he used to make it a “painting” too. My guess is he made this in phtotoshop, printednit on a transparency and projected it on the canvas as he painted by numbers. Explains the copy/paste and inconsistent composition lighting.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid, while heaping predictable praise on the portraits, noted the artists.
The Obama portraits are an important marker. The fact that they chose Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald to paint them matters — in fact it's huge — and underscores the former first couple's longtime championing of contemporary black artists. More here: https://t.co/LRHoWh3iqp pic.twitter.com/oXFt9m8KzD

Speaking of Kehinde Wiley, he also did this lovely portrait.
Hey @BarackObama – why would you choose Kehinde Wiley as your portrait artist, when he's depicted blacks decapitating white women in his "art"? pic.twitter.com/tIfBy0vt1K

That would be a woman holding a decapitated head. (Kathy Griffin, eat your heart out.)
It wasn’t the only such portrait in Wiley’s oeuvre.

Behold.
Now, look closer. The same recurring pattern.
Regardless of the controversial subject matter of black women decapitating white women as “art,” there is also the matter of the technical execution of the paintings. If they were created with digital “photoshopping” technology, then we can add another layer of fraudulence to the Obama legacy.
Update: That’s not all folks, looks like Obama has… six fingers? Who knew.
