The lithograph "I am God: Mr. Bush" by Niki de Saint Phalle features a central figure dressed in a green suit, likely symbolizing former U.S. President George W. Bush. The artwork is rich in symbols and visual critiques. The character wears a golden hat with the inscription "I am God" and dollar symbols, illustrating a critique of authority and the relationship with money. The face is divided in two, one half depicted more realistically and the other filled with skulls, perhaps symbolizing death or destruction.
The table in front of the character is filled with symbolic objects, including oil wells, weapons, banknotes, and a chimeric creature, suggesting themes of war, militarism, and resource consumption. There are also inscriptions such as "MORE POLLUTION," "MORE GUNS," and "NEVER BEEN TO LONDON, PARIS," reinforcing the critical message towards perceived isolationist, consumerist, and militaristic policies.
The artwork uses bright colors and a graphic style to draw attention to the sociopolitical critiques Niki de Saint Phalle aims to express. It is a powerful representation that invites reflection on the impacts of political and economic decisions.
