Overview
His statue of Gaga – called “Patron Saint of the Gulf” – depicts the style icon as a modern-day St Francis of Assisi drenched in BP black oil with dying octopi, angry frogs and a struggling pelican perching on her shoulders.
The statue stands on top of the BP corporate logo and is covered in oil collected by Edwards during the infamous oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico.
"The comparisons between Lady Gaga and St Francis can be uncanny,” said Edwards' spokesperson Cory Allen.
"Lady Gaga is often depicted with animal imagery, much like St Francis, the son of a wealthy fashion merchant, who was also known for his fondness of flamboyant apparel."
The statue will go on display at the IAO Gallery in Oklahoma City, on 15 December, and Edwards says he eventually wants to deliver it to BP’s headquarters in London.
