Micallef's more recent work had focused on the human body: "I was doing political work for such a long time, but sometimes you just want to retract and do something for yourself -- something that wasn’t making a statement," he told Mashable.

"I find it really interesting when you find pop type imagery and place it with something much darker. It’s that chemistry you make in the middle that I find really interesting," Micallef told Mashable.

His Trump portraits contribute to a wider body of art in the exhibition that comments on the cult of celebrity and the intersection of sensationalism in the political realm.

"We live in a world of storytellers where facts are no longer important and truths are irrelevant," he said in an email to Mashable, "Politics and opinions are polarized and you are either fighting for good or evil.

"The people have spoken and they want a celebrity God to fix things! Are we really surprised?"

"The amalgamation of these elements have been condensed and incarnated in Donald Trump. A self-centered, egocentric billionaire being represented as Robin Hood by saying he will take from the rich and the corrupted and give it back to the poor. This is the savior!... The people have spoken and they want a celebrity God to fix things! Are we really surprised?"

Earlier in his career, Micallef was represented by the same agent as English graffiti artist Banksy, and much of his work sought to bring attention to contemporary social issues such as human trafficking and the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

Micallef told Mashablethat he believes the racist undertone in Trump's speeches "creates a really bad environment," likening it to the resulting rise in hate crime following the Brexit vote in June.

"I dislike what he’s about. This is a trophy for him -- nothing else.”
