British artist Jonathan Yeo is exhibiting collage portraits of President Bush and Paris Hilton he made out of porn magazine images.Uh, that's pretty much it.
He has painted portraits of Tony Blair, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Rupert Murdoch and Prince Philip. Yeo got the idea for the collages following the cancellation of a commission by the White House to paint Bush in 2004. He made the portrait, anyway, but in the form of a collage using pieces of pornographic magazines. Posters of the Hilton portrait will be sold for $20 each at the gallery and Yeo was offering Hilton proceeds from the sale of the posters as a gesture because the hotel heiress has said she didn't receive any money from her notorious sex video that also starred then-boyfriend Rick Salomon.
