Classically-trained artists have reimagined two of the most famous
portraits in the world, Mona Lisa and King Henry VIII as Kanye West and
Kim Kardashian.
The rapper was transformed
into King Henry VIII, known for his short
temper and inflated ego - while the reality star is pictured as Da
Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
The works of art, which took five days to make, were commissioned by
online antique specialist www.LoveAntiques.com to celebrate its second
birthday.
Members of the public interested in owning their own artistic fusion can
buy prints in various sizes from just £10, with money going towards
Kanye's arts institution, Donda’s House.
The original paintings have also been sent to them as a housewarming
gift. Will Thomas, managing director at LoveAntiques.com said:
"Given the famed egos of both Kim and Kanye, we wouldn’t be
surprised - and hope - to learn that the originals we’ve sent to the
couple find themselves on the walls of the next property they decide to
buy,"
"We also wanted the public to have an opportunity to own what are
very unique pieces of art, and in doing so, raise money for charity at
the same time."
