Beautiful dark twisted fantasy: Sydney suburb embraces mural of Kanye West making out with himself
The artist said he decided to paint the image after a friend did a mural of a nude Kim Kardashian selfie at one end of the wall and he wanted to create an artistic “link”.
An Australian artist behind a larger-than-life mural of American rap star Kanye West embracing himself has offered to paint over it – for a sizeable fee.
The 20-foot painting dubbed Kanye Loves Kanye features a black-suited image of the singer kissing another version of himself wearing a glittering pantsuit.
Artist Scott Marsh said he decided to paint the image after a friend did a mural of a nude Kim Kardashian selfie at one end of the wall and he wanted to create an artistic “link”.
He said he was inspired by the internet meme which followed the infamous red carpet photograph of Kanye embracing Kim Kardashian in which the rapper’s head was superimposed on his wife’s body.
“It was pretty light-hearted,” he said of the mural made on March 19. “I suspect when you paint something big on a wall people tend to take notice of it.”
