Pricasso's promotional tool
I spotted this “promotional tool” in today’s Independent. It’s a piece about a rather bizarre artist who paints portraits with his penis. Pricasso (ahem), as he calls himself, has recently demonstrated his talents at the Sexpo exhibition in Johannesburg. But I’m afraid he has all the hallmarks of a publicity stunt – one of the giveaways is that this Australian born artist has already painted portraits of George Bush and Paris Hilton. What great soundbites. I do hope I’m wrong and that he’s real because if he is, then that’s a much bigger story and maybe we’ll see him some time soon at the Hayward. Let’s hope Damien Hirst doesn’t want to pickle Pricasso’s member – that really would be a photo opportunity.
