Nadia Plesner

Nadia Plesner is a Danish/Dutch painter who works and lives in the Netherlands. Plesner is working on issues that lie between the editorial and advertising and often with political undertones. She trained at the Graphic Arts Institute, Copenhagen (Denmark) and at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam ( the Netherlands).
KISS 2013.
KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is her new campaign against the modern world and modern culture. It shows a naked Sarah Palin and Ronald McDonald acting against God's will in the Garden of Eden. The painting was first shown in Denmark and made great headlines and discussions.
Legal action by Louis Vuitton.
In April 2010 Nadia Plesner was sued by Louis Vuitton for showing her controversial painting "Darfurnica". The painting, reproduced in the "Simple Living" T-shirts, depicts an undernourished African child holding a fashionista dog and a designer handbag resembling Louis Vuitton's Monogram Multicolore handbag. In a larger painting featuring the child, he stands in the conflict-ridden region of Darfur in Sudan.
The fashion giant issued a cease and desist order for alleged copyright infringement. A Dutch court imposed daily fines of approximately 7,500 US dollars.
The trial attracted much international attention and several artists and celebrities supported Nadia Plesner as they believed that the case also referred to artistic expression and the right to make the world aware of international issues in an artistic way
Prior to the trial was also a previous conflict in 2008 between Nadia Plesner and Louis Vuitton, which was about an artistic campaign called Simple Living. 
In 2011 the Dutch court reversed its decision and acquitted Nadia Plesner. "Darfurnica" was sold in 2011 for approximately 45,000 US dollars.

Plesner has repeatedly participated in the international artistic movement Emergency Room with Thierry Geoffroy where invited artists from all around the world participate in artistic disciplines with carefully designed rules.
