Artist Breaks The Traditional Masculinized Image Of Famous People By Taking Them To Their Pink World
Scott Scheidly is an artist from Ohio, currently based in Orlando, Florida, who calls himself surrealist at heart. His oil painting series “The Pinks” has some of that vibe too since Scheidly decided to depict infamous historical figures in a completely new light – fabulous pink.
As the artist says himself, this art project “explores the cultural and social implications of color meanings and symbology and how the predefined notions that accompany these perceptions can alter one’s identity and subsequent world view.” Scheidly depicts either hyper-masculinized or historically infamous people and mocks them in his cool paintings using social/sexual satire.
The artist enjoys making people laugh and with this series, he continues to do so. “However, I do get negative feedback from some people which in a way I also enjoy. As long as I’m making individuals think outside the box I’m happy.” Scroll down to see these controversially beautiful paintings for yourself.

Sorry to anyone who's wondering WTF is going on with all these replies. But I was reading Bored Panda when a friend came round and I left my phone down and it got into the hands of my friends 2 year old daughter while we were in the kitchen talking. Sorry. This is why I wish Bored Panda gave you the ability to delete replies like You tube does.

I honestly do not think I would have done so much work with so many despicable despots. I would have messed with Regan, Obama, Bush, Clinton, John Wayne etc, but showing the "softer" side of murderers and despots like Polpot, Che, Idi Amin, any of the Kims, Hitler, Stalin, etc... I simply would not venture to say I understand the point. They are the worst humanity has ever offered and the artist is making them cuddly? Not sure I get the point.

Yeah, I agree. People like to think they're "taking them down a peg", but I really feel like it's just trivializing all the unimaginable suffering those men have caused. It's callous and self centered. "I know your whole family is slowly starving to death in a NK forced labor camp but here's Kim Jong in a pink jacket... don't you feel better now?" The more I think about it the more repulsive it is.
