羅姆尼與歐巴馬的真實「肉身」：另類食材藝術

環保拼貼藝術家 傑森米歇爾/雷克斯

牛肉乾拼貼的美國總統歐巴馬和共和黨總統參選人羅姆尼

有些藝術值得好好咀嚼！一位舊金山壁畫家用牛肉乾完成了不可思議的任務---讓它成為藝術。畫作作者傑森米歇爾（Jason Mecier）把他的新作命名為「Barack ObaMEAT 」和「MEAT Romney」；這兩幅頗具特色的肖像全由鹹牛肉乾製成，畫出美國兩位呼聲頗高的總統候選人。米歇爾的肉乾經典作品，是為了杰克林牌牛肉乾舖最近舉辦的「投給你最愛的候選人」活動所創。不過，這還不是頭一遭有人用食物繪製政壇人物喔。從香腸串到杯子蛋糕，讓我們來找出用最甜蜜的食材創作的政治藝術吧…
