Lefty artist snaps at Cameron
MOST artists would be honoured to have a former prime minister and his wife attend their latest exhibition, but Jake Chapman rewarded David and Samantha Cameron by posting photographs of them at the event on social media, accompanied by derisive and obscene comments.
Even as the Camerons were chatting to other guests in East London’s Paradise Row — and perhaps casting an eye over some of Chapman’s creations, which inspired one critic to reflect that ‘gleeful bad taste is everywhere’ — the artist posted a snap captioned, ‘Annihilate this p **** ’ and another emblazoned with the C-word.
It’s not clear why the Camerons attended the event. Lefty Chapman fell out with Tracey Emin when she voted Conservative in 2010.
But Chapman and his wife, model-turned nutritionist Rosemary Ferguson — an old pal of Kate Moss — live, like the Camerons, in the Cotswolds.
Perhaps Rosemary and Sam Cam bonded while shopping at Daylesford Organic?
