Tony and Cherie Bliar - naked

Shackley · 4 Jun 2007 at 16:57

A drawing which depicts Tony and Cherie Blair naked on the steps of 10 Downing Street is the centrepiece of the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition.

Artist and sculptor Michael Sandle, 71, conceived the three-panel picture, Iraq Triptych, as a protest against the war. "I suddenly felt overcome with anger at the way Blair has messed up," he told the Guardian newspaper. BBC Link

OMG WTF

I don't think much of it tbh.

LOL

I find it funny rather than powerful or poetic.

I'm puzzled by the Riot Policeman attacking a beer glass with a baton in the panel to the left. What's going on there :confused:

And why is Bliar hiding his genitals rather than his face?

They look quite young in that picture so it is probably more flattering than insulting.

Someone please let the art community know that being anti-war isn't as trendy as it was last week

i think that is actually depicting a soldier beating an Iraqi with his head in a bag!, there is also another one in a ball on the floor!

Looks like something a kid would doodle in school, pathetic excuse for a piece of "art."

Arsey · 4 Jun 2007 at 18:30

I thought it was a beer glass at first

But the more you look at it the more things you see.

I've always wanted to see Cherie Bliar naked. She's yummy. :cool:

Mr.Clark · 4 Jun 2007 at 18:57

I'm quite disturbed that I even clicked on this thread to be honest.

Shame on you all.

Duh, it's a funny joke, can't believe you haven't heard it :rolleyes:

And there's 2 ps in appalling

[TW]Fox · 4 Jun 2007 at 19:46

No, it can't be a joke, becuase he wouldn't persist with it over and over again if it were. It must be a spelling mistake

JohnnyG · 4 Jun 2007 at 19:47

He's fart oo clever to make silly spelling mistakes
