🎨 Sneaked Art Surprise at the National Museum of Wales! 🎨
Visitors at the National Museum of Wales got a surprising eyeful last week when a mysterious painting made an unannounced appearance! The intriguing artwork, believed to be AI-generated, was smuggled in by a secretive artist going by the name Elias Marrow.
The piece, titled “Empty Plate,” portrays a young boy in a Welsh school uniform, holding an empty plate on his lap. It’s said to reflect “the state of Wales in 2025” and has since been removed by museum staff.
Known for pulling similar stunts, Elias Marrow has quite the penchant for making art appear magically in unsuspecting locations. His website mentions that he’s pulled off similar antics in places like the Bristol Museum, where one of his placards still hangs unnoticed by many!
Describing his work as appearing “without warning… like offerings,” Elias leaves us guessing about the deeper meanings of his art. 🖼️
An official from the National Museum Cardiff assured the public that the impromptu piece didn’t cause any damage to existing displays.
