“Jim Carrey, who says he began painting six years ago to heal a broken heart following his split from Jenny McCarthy, primarily paints in his studio in downtown Manhattan, and his art has been featured in a number of galleries, including the Wyland Galleries in Waikiki, Hawaii, and Lake Tahoe, California.
Since November, around the one-year mark under President Trump, Carrey has been busy creating satirical cartoons of the Trump administration and the Republican congressmen under his sway-and then tweeting them out to his 17.9 million followers.”

Jim Carrey was a comic god in the late 1990s and 2000`s, his slapstick stand-up performances and his energetic comedic movies earned him a legion of fans.
But truth be told Carrey hasn`t had a hit in decades, it`s a miracle his shtick enjoyed such lasting power. I was an early fan of Carrey, but today I`d rather be hit over the head with a sledgehammer than endure more than five minutes of his stand-up routine.
Fortunately, Carrey didn`t disappear from the spotlight when his movie career went kaput, he`s enjoyed a second career as a painter.
You wouldn`t expect a slapstick comedy star to turn into a classical painter, and indeed he hasn`t, his panting style can best be described as satirical caricatures.
Carrey is a genius in his chosen style, and lately he`s focused on painting Trump and his henchmen.
His piece de resistance is a painting of Press Secretary Sarah Sanders. He shared his painting of Sarah without naming her. The caption under her painting read:
This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but I daresay that 99 out of 100 men would agree that Sanders is butt ugly. It wouldn`t be entirely accurate to label Carrey`s depiction of her a caricature, because in real life she looks like a caricature.
White evangelicals have their feces-encrusted thongs in a twist because Carrey called her a “so-called Christian,” but that`s an accurate description for all white evangelicals.
Sanders is a malignant tumor who daily excuses, justifies and flat-out lies on behalf of the most evil and unchristian steaming pile of dung to ever sit in the Oval Office.
Carrey`s depiction of Sanders is a masterpiece, it perfectly captures her demonic essence.
I hope Carrey enjoys as long a period of fame as a painter as he enjoyed as a comedy star, especially if he continues to paint members of the Trump administration.
