Chrissy Teigen Channels Her Inner-Art Student, Offering Perspective On Sculpture

Chrissy Teigen is channeling her inner-Art Theory student!

The model-turned-Twitter extraordinaire is known for sharing her life on the social network; her tweets have ranged from her vulnerable perspectives on life to her thoughts on a certain former commander-in-chief.

On Tuesday afternoon, Teigen took to 'the bird app' and tapped into her inner-art theory student as she spoke about her relationship with her body and self-image, and related it to a sculpture adaptation of a Venus de Milo statue by entrepreneur Greg Lansky.

Lanksky's take on Venus de Milo's sculpture of a nude woman is an attempt to contribute to the ongoing conversation about the negative effects of photo filters and modifications on social media, caught Teigen's eye on Twitter, and she has some thoughts!

Teigen, 37, is no stranger to celebrating her body on social media, but she also freely discusses the vulnerability that our bodies can inspire.

In 2021, she took to Instagram to discuss her thoughts on her postpartum body following the devastating loss of her and John Legend's son Jack, after a difficult pregnancy.

She would ask her followers to refrain from commenting anything 'nice' and to allow her to have a moment to express her feelings.

In her three-paragraph post, Teigen would write, "But man. when you lose a baby halfway through, your body just pauses. It has nothing to do. Nothing to feed. And you're just... stuck. Stuck with saggy boobs that were preparing to be milk bags, a belly that was ready to bake. I would be lying if I did not say this majorly sucked. Not only are you ummm extremely, dibolically sad about what could have been, but you have this reminder every time you look in the GD mirror."

She would also tell followers she did not have a "big ending" for her post or any "positive words" to wrap things up.

Teigen would come across Lanksy's artistic interpretation on Twitter and jokingly plead with her followers to "please love me" after comparing her body to the statue.

Lansky would provide more details about his interpretation in an Instagram post.

"I created this work reflecting on the relationship between pain and feeling loved in a world driven by AI-algorithms," Lanksky's post began. "There is no mirror for her selfie because humanity is the mirror. We are the mirror."

The statue has an iPhone in her hand and has her arm outstretched as she snaps a selfie.

"I wanted to offer a continuation of the Venus de Millo," Lansky would go on to write, "a sculpture made over 2000 years ago that portrays an immortal Goddess between the reach of humans."

"Today, it's AIs algorithms that have God-like power over humanity," he continued. "They influence beauty standards with the irresistible promise that those who follow will be rewarded with digital encouragement disguised as love. And in the pursuit of that promise people will go through immense physical pain. This made me feel that plastic surgery could be seen as an act of love and commitment to participate in a world of lies we are all part of..." Lansky wrote.

Lansky's sculpture would land on Teigen's feed after a Twitter user posted photos showing Lansky gazing at the statue, along with various angles of the AI-goddess.

Teigen would quote-tweet the user's thread, writing, "Oh no I have every single scar on this body lol (also cries) please love me."

She would go on to explain it was the "Boob job and breast lift, and c-section, not tuck. also the phone... if she has a bunion it's over for me," Teigen joked.

A Twitter user quickly came for Teigen, citing art interpretation.

"You're missing the point of the piece- art is a reflection of the time we lived in- it's seen through the artists [sic] eye and their experience- if you don't agree, that's great! Art is about stating a conversation, about dialogue and connection- which this world is sadly lacking," they wrote.

Teigen clapped back, "I literally didn't say any thoughts about the piece."

Multiple users mentioned their distaste for male artists creating interpretations of women's bodies.

"i'm so over men making work about women's bodies. it needs to stop," a user wrote.

"I hate this piece," another user weighed in. "More of men giving opinions on women's bodies that no one asked for."

Others praised the artist's depictions of scars.

"Beautiful scars of war," an admirer commented.

"Women have scars from giving birth, to working hard for family. We are tough mothers," another follower commented.
