Art depicts leaders with caricatures
A series of sculptures captures past and present world leaders as deranged living caricatures. From the bright pink face of David Cameron to Barack Obama as Mickey Mouse, the portraits poke fun at some of the world’s most famous and infamous politicians. The series also features President Vladimir Putin of Russia, former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, Kim Jong-un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, former Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi, President of Syria Bashar al-Assad, and former President of France Nicolas Sarkozy. The unique artwork was created by artist Marie-Lou Desmeules.

I paint and sculpt people into celebrities, historical figures & modern archetypes mimicking plastic surgery in a distorted way. Rather than operating with a scalpel, botox and implants, I transform my patients with brushes, acrylic paint, old fabrics and packaging leftover. The ephemeral makeovers are transformed into artworks, thanks to staged photography & video.
