PAINTING SOW PIGCASSO HOGS THE LIMELIGHT

Painting sow Pigcasso hogs the limelight at South Africa farm. Step aside Francis Bacon. Brandishing a paintbrush in her snout, Pigcasso enthusiastically tosses her head to create bright, bold strokes across a canvas propped up in her sty. The sow was rescued from an abattoir as a piglet and brought to an animal sanctuary in Franschhoek, in South Africa’s Western Cape region in 2016, where her new owners noticed her love of colour and paint brushes.
