Assassination of world leaders by an Artist !

[Gene]

What is art?

That is the question many Brazilians have been forced to ask themselves after the country’s most important alternative art show displayed nine drawings depicting the assassination of world leaders.

Each charcoal drawing shows the artist, Gil Vicente of Recife, Brazil, holding a weapon moments before assassinating a world leader.



The exhibition is titled “Enemies” and is seen in the photo above.

Because they kill so many other people, it would be a favor to kill them, understand? Why don't people in power and in the elite die?” Vicente told AFP news agency.

Vicente indicated the art was more about getting rid of something within himself. “My question was very direct, to expel the rage I had inside me,” he told Sao Paulo’s Folha newspaper.
