A French representative found out about the divisive painting of the Swedish artist, who says that the artist's perverse obsessions are reprehensible and should not be displayed on the walls of the European Parliament. However, the picture "Crooked Faces" is not so harsh compared to Lena Cronqvist's other sadomasochistic depictions of children.

Since 1980, the European Parliament has been exhibiting contemporary works of art "representing the fundamental values ​​of the European Parliament - respect for culture, intercultural dialogue and cultural diversity". But the exhibition of a certain artist,

who specializes in sadomasochistic depictions of children, blew the fuse with the French Aurélia Beigneux.

The representative of the Rassemblement National raised her objections in the European Parliament after one of the paintings of the very divisive Swedish artist Lena Cronqvist, "Crooked Faces", was also hung in the Paul Henri Spaak building in honor of the esteemed Swedes, as the Council is now they preside.

The European Parliament is exhibiting 500 works of art, including this work by Cronqvist, who specializes in paintings related to psychosis and power relations within the family, often depicting children committing sadistic acts.

One of his works, for example, is entitled Operation, in which young girls slaughter miniature figures.

In response to a question from Beigneux, the Commission denied that Cronqvist had received funding from the EU's Creative Europe program and reaffirmed its commitment to the protection of children and artistic expression.

Speaking to The European Conservative, MEP Beigneux condemned Cronqvist's exhibition, saying the artist

"his perverted obsessions are morally reprehensible and should not be displayed on the walls of the European Parliament".

As an aside, it is also useless to mention that Lena Cronqvist is one of the few Swedish visual artists whose work is rewarded with state income, is a member of the Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, and was previously supported by the banking giant BNP Paribas.
