Britney Spears has been used as the inspiration for this anti-bear-life statue, by the sculptor Daniel Edwards, which is soon to go on display at Capla Kesting Fine Art in Brooklyn, New York.
“The artist wishes to convey a hatred for bears which could be interpreted to extend to all wild animals,” stated the gallery’s co-director, Lincoln Capla.
From Edwards’s artist statement: “Using this piece of synthetic, washed-up pop trash is my way of metaphorically shitting on nature and the rights animals have to life. Plus, it gave me a chance to sculpt some wide-open beaver. How often does an artist get to do that and call it art? Take that, Andres Serrano. Who’s edgy now? DAYUM, I hate bears.”
A representative for Ms. Spears would only comment: “Britney is delighted with this likeness of herself, but would like her fans to know she does not actually have struts protruding from her body.”
Aside to Dunhill: If you don’t go take pictures of this when you get back home, I will hunt you down and pinch you.
Dedicated to Supa, so trapped in the house. :(
the bear looks as if it’s trying to run away, without a body or an internal skeletal structure.
and, y’know, britney wasn’t anywhere near that…toned… at the end of her pregnancy. i was all glad to see a hollywood person who appeared to have gained an appropriate amount in their pregnancy. although considering it was britney, those were probably dorito pounds.
Dorito pounds! Hee!
Yeah, seriously, Angelina Jolie’s stick arms and huge stomach are bumming me out.
good thing you cleared up that struts issue for me
You totally rule – this almost made me pee I was laughing so hard!
Loves!
Sigh. The coveted “almost made me pee” compliment. I used to get those. Back when I was funny.
I, um, er, ummm….
Oh, my.
I. . . thought you were kidding when you said that Britney Spears was the inspiration for this statue. Then I went to the gallery’s website and read the blurb. Wow. Just. . .wow.
I lub u SJ.
Yikes: “Natural aspects of Spears
So I’ve been seeing this here & there, but yours was the first. Thought you might appreciate some of the photoshopping that went on towards the end of this thread on hipmama… http://www.hipmama.com/node/20252. Made me laugh as hard as the first time I saw it posted here…
I sure hope it’s life sized.
The hordes of Japanese tourists might be a problem in getting any sort of money shot. I’ll give it my best though.
The face looks like Charlize Theron to me.
The crazy thing about this is that Britney had a scheduled C-section. So much for “natural” childbirth.
