OOPS! He Did it Again


Artist Daniel Edwards has created yet another controversial celebrity portrait. The most recent one was of Britney Spears giving birth to her son on a bear skin rug. The artist is represented by Capla Kesting Gallery in Brooklyn, New York. Here are a series of articles on the latest piece, a "Plastered Paris" sculpture called The Paris Hilton Autopsy.

The artist has also created a "little shrine" to Red Sox player Ted Williams' head, and a portait bust of Hillary Clinton. I have to say that this guy is really starting to grow on me. What do you think? Are you offended? Why or why not? Are you acting offended but secretly (and somewhat guiltily) laughing? What kind of artist is Daniel Edwards? Please share.

A couple of short films:
