Knut Depicted as Angel: American Artist Claims Knut’s Spirit is Guiding Germany to Abstain from Libyan Conflict
BERLIN (March 25, 2011) – American Artist Daniel Edwards announces the unveiling of his latest sculpture “Knut Watches Over Germany” through Cory Allen Contemporary Art (CACA) today. The sculpture can be viewed on the official Daniel Edwards page on Facebook. Edwards claims Knut’s spirit is guiding Germany in its response to the Libyan conflict.
In “Knut Watches Over Germany” Knut the polar bear is depicted with angel wings as he sits atop a head of Libyan leader Moamar Gadhafi.
“I believe Knut’s existence has enlightened Germany about the sensitivity of our global environment,” said gallery director Cory Allen. “It doesn’t make sense to keep fighting for the very thing [oil] that is destroying our planet, and a war with Libya is all about the oil.”
Chancellor Angela Merkel said Berlin had opted not to join military operations in Libya.
“If they stuff him and put him on display, they should attach angel wings to him,” said artist Daniel Edwards after hearing that Knut may be stuffed and exhibited in Berlin’s Natural History Museum after his premature death. “I believe Knut directed the conscience of Germany to fight for conservation rights instead of fighting over oil rights in Libya,” said Edwards.
