Lars Vilks is a Swedish artist who taught himself how to paint and sculpt. In a grand artistic maneuver in 1980, he sculpted a giant, tower-like sculpture made of 75 tons of driftwood, which he called Nimis. As a companion, about a decade later he also built Arx, a sculpture made of stone.
When local authorities finally found it, they ordered it to be removed, as it imposed upon the nature reserve. After a lengthy court battle, Vilks did what any rational person would do in protest.

It never ceases to amaze me what people call "art" these days. Same can be said for music.
