UK: Trump portrait made with human faeces presented in London
Endless the Artist presented a portrait of US President Donald Trump
he made with his own faeces, at his warehouse in London on Saturday.
The artist painted the artwork overnight in a secret studio set-up at
one of London's most iconic luxury suites, to document the process in a
regal British setting. He plans to have the artwork delivered to the
President during his UK visit, planned for October this year.
The outline of Trump's head is painted in faeces mixed with black
paint. The head surrounded by an aureole of his most controversial
Twitter posts.
The artwork has been finished with a resin coat to preserve its
colour and to protect it from oxidation. The piece has been dubbed
'Shithole', in memory of Trump's remark on immigrants from Haiti and
Africa coming into America. In the context of the artwork it points to
Trump's mouth, from which a large majority of his remarks exit.
Endless has been following the public mood around Trump's visit since
the White House announced the February trip late last year. Though it
was cancelled, two-million citizens signed a petition to successfully
get it downgraded from a state to working visit.
