NotAnotherLemmyUser , to world in King Charles portrait turned into Wallace and Gromit character by animal activists

The painting is protected by glass, so no damage was done to the painting.

I read through way too many articles that failed to mention this important detail.

argh_another_username ,

It wouldn’t be a big loss. That painting is ugly as hell.

Reverendender ,

I think it’s a terrific representation of the horrifically bloody history of the British Monarchy

Leg ,

Yeah, I don’t think it was meant to be pretty lol

jonne ,

Yeah, I know the artist said some other bullshit to justify this choice, but to me it just looks like the blood their wealth was built on.

I like it

Pilferjinx ,

I like it because it’s hella odd as shit. King, embrace the fuck-my-shit-up results of this glorious piece.

I can’t stop thinking about how someone got paid to make this painting.

RizzRustbolt ,

He’s pretty famous for making portraits. Here’s his portrait of Idris Elba.

See, that isn’t ugly.

Which makes me think it was on purpose. Which makes me hate it a little less.

RizzRustbolt ,

He has a lot of upper class clients who he paints just as … starkly as the king’s portrait.

It is very much on purpose.

Now that is a gorgeous balance of color and brush strokes. So why did the artist choose that awful color theme for Charles?

chuckleslord ,

Right? Spit right in the royal families face and they pay you for the privilege. Priceless and hilarious

Moneo ,

Same shit that happens with every climate protest. “Climate protestors deface painting” etc.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

It’s much less engaging this way.

~~If it were something that could easily be removed I’d laugh

Since it appears to be a lot more permanent. Hopeful they do jail time for vandalism.don’t destroy artwork.~~

Edit : I’ve been told it its over glass. So in that case. Then it’s good for a laugh.

usernamesAreTricky ,

They used stickers. I doubt it’s super permanent by intention

riodoro1 ,

It’s over glass and ummm… I think it’s more important to first stop torturing animals and worry about the well being of inanimate objects later.

andrewta ,

Is it? Ah in that case I’ll amend my comment.

Jail time for nonviolent activism is excessive, and will probably motivate, not deter, more people to do the same.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Hmm nah. I am less likely to do something if I know it will result in me going to jail.

gmtom ,

Does “don’t destroy artwork” apply to people whi tear down statues of like Saddam or Mussolini? Or what about confederates or slave owner statues?

floofloof , to world in King Charles portrait turned into Wallace and Gromit character by animal activists

It still looks like him, except happier.

I wouldn’t anger Count Vigo of Carpathia like that. Remember what happened the last time?

Donkter , to world in King Charles portrait turned into Wallace and Gromit character by animal activists

He got turned into Wallace. The titular character.

BREXIT problems. Oh well, the dipshit nationalists won the vote and now they're wondering why the UK is falling apart.

Jon_Servo ,

Aren’t a huge number of them dead already? Could have sworn I’d seen an article about it at some point…

Tories empowering firms to dump toxic sludge is something that will take decades to recover from. Fuck Johnson and fuck Sunak.

thesporkeffect , to news in Public has no right to swim in sea, claims firm that dumped sewage at bathing spot

Holy shit. Is there no law against dumping waste? It seems immaterial whether someone has a ‘right to swim’, that’s not the issue at hand dude

The water treatment executives have no right to not have pieces of lead lodged in their heads.
