Nope, this isn’t some avant-garde sculpture aiming to spotlight diabetes—though you’d be forgiven for jumping to that conclusion. After all, it’s depicting an obese woman, who’d probably benefit more from a blood sugar check and a heart exam than parading through London in those chunky blue shoes.

Introducing “The Lady in Blue,” a portrayal of an overweight, less-than-healthy-looking black woman that snagged the top spot in a contest to grace the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London—a prestigious stage for modern art in the UK. This, folks, is what happens when a woke tyrant with no taste takes the reins of a city: you end up with DEI art masquerading as genuine artistry. Shameful.

This piece of %@$! is the brainchild of Tschabalala Self, a black artist known for only depicting women of color in her art. Following her exhibit, the prestigious spot will be taken over by a creation from another lady, Andra Ursuța, a Romanian-American artist. Her work is set to replace the “obese black lady” two years after its display on the Fourth Plinth.

This is Ursuta’s grand “masterpiece.”

Once the fine folks of London have had their fill of gazing at a fat black chick, they can contemplate a green turd for the next couple of years.

The Art Newspaper:

The artists Tschabalala Self and Andra Ursuța have won the next commissions for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London, one of the UK’s most important platforms for contemporary art.

Self’s work will be unveiled in 2026; Ursuța’s sculpture will stand on the plinth two years later. The other artists in the running for the Fourth Plinth commissions were Chila Burman, Gabriel Chaile, Ruth Ewan, Veronica Ryan and Thomas J. Price.

The Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group, chaired by Ekow Eshun, with panellists including the artist Jeremy Deller, selected the winning works. A public consultation also informed the group’s decision.

Self’s piece, Lady in Blue, “pays homage to a young, metropolitan woman of colour who could be just one of many Londoners today”, according to a previous project statement. The work will be patinated with Lapis Lazuli blue.

So, they’re taking pride in showcasing that black women in London are morbidly obese, facing a barrage of potential health issues? That’s an interesting choice.

And who’s bankrolling this artistic disaster? None other than London’s woke mayor, a strong contender for the “Worst Taste in Art” award.

The Art Newspaper piece goes on:

The Fourth Plinth programme was launched in 1998 by the RSA (the Royal Society for arts, manufactures and commerce) with the support of the Cass Sculpture Foundation. Fourteen artists, including Yinka Shonibare, Rachel Whiteread and Mark Wallinger have shown works on the plinth since the contemporary art initiative was launched in 1999.

The Fourth Plinth is funded by the Mayor of London with support from Arts Council England and Bloomberg Philanthropies.

Last year a British government minister, Ben Wallace, proposed erecting a statue of the Second World War code-breaker Alan Turing on the Fourth Plinth. Other UK politicians have also suggested that a memorial to the late Queen Elizabeth II could stand on the plinth.

Tragically, it seems everything DEI lays hands on turns to—well, let’s just say it doesn’t smell very good. We’re living in an era where charity, not excellence, rules. We’re now left celebrating questionable art, and glorifying poor health choices has become the norm.

If you listen closely, you can hear Michelangelo spinning in his grave.
