Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest has slipped in a particularly flattering portrait of himself into the National Gallery while the rest of the art world is distracted by Gina’s tantrum.
A source close to Twiggy said the mining magnate just wanted people to gaze upon him like a good ol boy who can also muster an entire herd single handedly. Adding,
“He has to give Gina credit for this one. It’s the Streisand Effect in full blast and has provided the perfect distraction for him to finally launch his plan. He’s been wanting to do this since buying R.M. Williams.
Apparently, this wasn’t Twiggy’s first idea however. We spoke to a local artist who told The Times that the Marine Parade specialist commissioned a rather odd painting. Adding,
“He wanted me to paint him as a rugby half back bursting through his various business competition dressed in All Blacks rugby kit and scoring a try with a rugby ball made from iron ore. I told him I could do it but it might not be as easily to slip in as discreetly”
Andrew isn’t a man who likes to hear no but after seeing Gina get absolutely dragged in the media he realised that perhaps society isn’t ready to go full Twiggy.
Anyone wanting to see the painting can visit the gallery where Gina’s caricature sits. On a side note, you can also see copies of the painting at the OBH where he’s placed a copy on every wall.
That’s Twiggy for you! Good business is all about good timing.
