Pricasso, Penis Painter, Takes on South Africa’s Malema

SOUTH AFRICA – Australian penile artist Pricasso announced yesterday that he would be painting a collection of works depicting ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema in a series titled Ignoramus.

The series of paintings will be completed during Sexpo, which will be held next weekend at Gallagher Estate in Midrand, and sold to visitors and collectors. Proceeds of the sales will be donated to charity.

“Even down under he’s a newsmaker,” says Pricasso, “widely influencing public opinion of South Africa worldwide.”

“As a fan of South Africa, and certainly a multiple visitor, I know that the majority of South Africans are opposite to what we read in the papers. The intention of this series of four paintings is not only to raise money for charity, but, importantly, to take a tongue-in-cheek position on a newsmaker who seems to grab headlines even when he has little to say.”

The Ignoramus series will be the latest installment of Pricasso’s collection of political works. Previously he has painted Tony Blair, George W Bush, DA leader Helen Zille and President Jacob Zuma.
