Sculpture of Obama As Jesus Causes Stir
Art Student's Depiction of Sen. Barack Obama As Jesus Causes Stir in Chicago
By NATHANIEL HERNANDEZ
CHICAGO Apr 3, 2007 (AP)— He wears Jesus' robes and a neon blue halo, looks like Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and is causing a stir at a Chicago art school. An undergraduate student's papier mache sculpture of Obama as a messianic figure entitled "Blessing" went on display Saturday at a downtown gallery run by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
By Monday, word of the piece had spread on political blogs, and the school had been flooded with calls.
David Cordero, 24, made the sculpture for his senior show after noticing all the attention Obama has received since he first hinted he may run for the presidency.
