In a shocking and unprecedented act of vandalism, Just Stop Oil, a British environmental activist group, has launched a daring attack on Van Gogh’s famous masterpiece, Sunflowers, at the National Gallery in London. The group, known for its radical methods of protesting fossil fuel usage, has made headlines for numerous high-profile stunts and protests.
According to eyewitnesses, the activists gained access to the gallery’s temporary exhibit space on Friday evening, where they proceeded to deface Van Gogh’s iconic work. The damage is extensive, with the group’s members covering the painting in red and yellow paint, splattering the canvas, and leaving behind a defiant message: "Stop Climate Change."
"Just Stop Oil’s latest act of terrorism will be met with fierce opposition from the art community, museum officials, and the British people," said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in a statement. "We condemn this wanton destruction of cultural heritage and demand the group take responsibility for their actions."
Museum officials have since released a statement confirming the incident and pledging to work closely with law enforcement to apprehend the perpetrators.
"Today’s event is a shocking and heartbreaking example of the devastating consequences of climate extremism," said the National Gallery’s director, Dr. Gabriele Finaldi. "We are deeply saddened by this act of vandalism and are working tirelessly to ensure the safe restoration of the painting."
Just Stop Oil, which has been waging a high-profile campaign against fossil fuels, claims its actions are a necessary step to draw attention to the urgent need for climate action. However, the group’s tactics have sparked widespread outrage, with many arguing that its methods are irresponsible and misguided.
The attack on Van Gogh’s Sunflowers has sparked widespread shock and condemnation, with many world leaders, art experts, and environmental organizations speaking out against the vandalism.
The incident comes on the heels of a similar attack on a renowned sculpture in Italy, as Just Stop Oil’s actions show no signs of abating.
