Prague - A Czech artist's contribution to an EU-wide art project to be unveiled in Brussels on Monday mocks Czech President Vaclav Klaus, an outspoken EU critic and global warming doubter, a report said Saturday.

The Lidove Noviny daily reported that a Czech piece in a giant jigsaw representing the 27 members of the European Union features Klaus' controversial statements running on a display set in blue background.

Klaus, who claims that global warming is not man-made and costly measures to curb it are a waste, promoted his views in a book titled Blue Planet in Green Shackles.

Artist David Cerny, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa by telephone from Brussels that he was adding the finishing touches to his piece, which was "likely" to be unveiled Monday, but declined to give details.

Cerny, known for his disapproval of Klaus' views, is famous for his original, provocative and attention-grabbing work.

He painted a Soviet tank pink soon after communism fell in the then Czechoslovakia two decades ago and placed a model of a nearly- naked and bound Saddam Hussein in a tank of formaldehyde at a time when Muslims worldwide protested Danish cartoons of the Islamic prophet Mohammed. (dpa)
