This stuff is offensive, NSFW, and seriously creative social commentary. I wont say anything more, but I warn you if you go further to check it out. The artist say in his own words: I want to make an artwork that will be stolen from a museum, to make an artwork that will end up pirate production in Shanghai, and I want to become so famous that Damien Hirst’s mother knows me.

Jani Leinonen was born in Hyvinkää, Finland in 1978. He graduated from Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki in 2002. Jani Leinonen plays with the systems of commodity exchange and celebrity, and the marketing strategies through which they operate.

Thanks Scott!
