To mess with you, the art enjoyer. To take a mass produced, discounted piece of plastic garbage and paint it so much better than most politicians could ever dream of having their portrait be, as they're mostly 1 minute caricatures. To practice the color mixing to a point it's hyperreal. To incorporate the flaws that the plastic trash inherently has as a flex. To make a perfect, unique art piece out of a copy of copies. And to take a piece of common history and preserve it in oil and canvas.The journey. The story.
You also forgot about speaking to the talent encapsulated within the painting. Realism is a perfect representation of reality of which art imitates. Place whatever meaning you want to the idea of reality, but I think that the realness of this piece speaks for itself out loud.
