Mona Lisa recreated with burger grease

[emad]

Artist Phil Hansen has recreated the Mona Lisa - using 14 grease-laden burgers for a fast food company - who wanted to show how much fat was in their competitor's food.

In a minute-long internet advert the 29-year-old artist is shown 'painting' on to an 11-foot canvas, made from butcher paper, using the grease from burgers he has broken up.

After each burger piece has been exhausted of grease they are thrown to the ground and hoovered up by a hungry dog.

And at one point in the advert, made for American restaurant chain Arby's, a close up reveals how grease ridden the artist's hands have become.

Mr Hansen, from Minneapolis in America, who painted a similar piece using chips last year, said people had been stunned by his creation
