The acclaimed actor Jim Carrey, who left his career a few years ago to dedicate himself to a more relaxed and far from fame life, shared on his Twitter account of a woman with an angry look.
This work was quickly compared to the White House spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Carrey published this tweet to his 17.8 million followers this Saturday night. The image, a colorful painting of the woman with dark hair, as well as a hard message for this subject:
“This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose is life for the wicked. Monstrous!”
Jim Carrey shares his works of art, can someone interpret his cartoons?
Some media also linked Carrey’s art with Sanders. Breitbart published a story about the image under the headline, “Jim Carrey attacks the ‘Christian’ call Sarah Huckabee Sanders with Grotesque Portrait.” The Wrap used the title, “Jim Carrey painted a portrait of Sarah Huckabee Sanders. And it’s not a pretty picture.”
A way to heal for the actor
Jim Carrey, whose successes and roles on the big screen have been Ace Ventura and The Truman Show, has adapted another type of talent. A bit away from acting. His art mostly approaches politics. He tackles different issues such as school shootings, tax reform and why Americans should help President Trump. Carrey had the opportunity to celebrate his first official exhibition last year in Las Vegas under the title “Sunshower.”

“Jim Carrey may or may not be a great comic actor”
¨He’s an amazingly bad painter and sculptor,” the Guardian concluded in a particularly scathing review published last year.
To be honest, Carrey adapted the art to end a relationship that ended in a painful way. This has been what has calmed that pain, using this as a therapy instead of pretending to be the new Picasso or even the new Sylvester Stallone. A strange combination, right? But in the case of this actor art is a help for himself. Painting to leave all these bad energies behind. Trying to heal all those wounds of the past.
“Faces of raw color like Jesus, dull fluorescent portraits, random abstractions and kitsch clay figures – this is a joke. Please, say it’s a joke.”
Carrey has said that making art is not an option for him. “There is not a day that passes that is not covered in paint or something like sculptures,” he told to W magazine.
