I don't really find any of these paintings bad

all i know is that i'd rather look at bad paintings of Obama than Chris Collins' work which is, quite simply, shit.

This whole thing is just lame. Don't get at all why QBN decided to put it on the homepage and highlight it.

Chris collins = Fucking prick.
At least these people have given it a go, they want to draw a picture to show how much they admire and respect someone, so Chris Collins decides to mock them, classy move Chris Collins. You had better not slip up otherwise someone will pounce on you. Anyone who makes a website mocking folk like that should sleep in thunder.
Very surprised this made it into EC.

I don't think Chris Collins is mocking the artists. Imo, he's making his own artistic statement by curating an online exhibition.
The name that an artist gives a painting can influence the way we view that piece of work; in the same way, the name Chris Collins has given the site will influence the way we view the exhibition. I.e the portraits in question aren't necessarily accomplished -> they've been painted by regular people. I don't think he's especially saying they're bad -> he's just introducing the concept that they're not necessarily good. It's vox-pop art.
The collection as a whole is more interesting than many of the paintings are individually. I found it interesting how so many different cultures have identified with Obama, and given him specific cultural characteristics which show this allegiance visually.
The collection of paintings as a whole show a pretty full portrait of the Obama.
I think that the macro vs. micro element to Chris Collin's work is worthy of note too; the work as a whole offers different levels of representation -> on individual levels, cultural levels and national levels.
The only reason I'm surprised it made it into EC, is that this is more artistic statement than graphic design.
