Feces drawing of Mark Zuckerberg goes on display

The poop portrait came from the mind and talent of a graffiti artist who goes by KATSU.

The gallery displaying this piece and others describes them as “paintings that are meticulous renderings of tech giants in control of more information than the government created from the compromising bio-matter of the artist."

KATSU defends his work by saying the Facebook CEO "deserves to be ridiculed." He called Zuckerberg "a gross aspiration everyone idolizes."

He let it be known his problem is with more than the man behind the social media site.

“We're at the fork in the road with the web, KATSU began.

“It is being understood as a fundamental part of our evolution as a species. There are some that are fighting to protect privacy, anonymity and freedom and those who are trying to control, monitor and make profits. I want to let people know my beliefs."

Gizmodo reports this isn't the first unflattering depiction of Zuckerberg by the graphic artist.

In 2013, he plastered pictures around the city showing Zuckerberg with a black eye and chipped tooth.

The New York Daily News reports other displays include a painting of a robot taking selfie, 3D-printed hand guns, and KATSU playing "Grand Theft Auto" in an unknown location.

The displays runs through February 22nd at The Hole gallery in Manhattan.
