Um, creepy? Cory Allen Contemporary Art announced on Wednesday, Sept. 3, that the recently leaked nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton will be the subject of Los Angeles-based artist XVALA's upcoming show "No Delete" next month at the CACA's The Showroom in Saint Petersburg, Fla.

Listed as additions to the artist's "Fear Google" campaign, CACA said in a statement that the leaked nude images will be printed on canvas, will be life-size and unaltered. XVALA's "Fear Google" campaign consists of the artist's seven-year collection of images found on Google of celebrities in their most vulnerable and private moments. 

"We share our secrets with technology," XVALA explained of his decision to utilize the compromising images as art. "And when we do, our privacy becomes accessible to others."

The irreverent artist has used leaked images of celebrities in the past. In 2007, the artist reproduced a photo of Britney Spears shaving her head as a 17th century Tabernacle Frame. In 2011, XVALA posted leaked nude images of Scarlett Johansson around Los Angeles with "Fear Google" covering her privates.

Aside from transforming the celebs' leaked nudes into "art," XVALA's "Fear Google" campaign also includes sculptures made out of trash from the homes of celebrities like Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Kim Kardashian.

"In today’s culture, everybody wants to know everything about everybody. An individual’s privacy has become everyone else’s business," said XVALA.

"This is obviously an outrageous violation of our client Kate Upton's privacy,” the model's attorney Lawrence Shire previously told Us in a statement after the leaked images hit the web. “We intend to pursue anyone disseminating or duplicating these illegally obtained images to the fullest extent possible."

While Lawrence's spokesperson also told Us: "This is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence." Neither Lawrence nor Upton's rep have commented on XVALA's planned exhibit.

Following the incident, Apple released a statement denying an iCloud breach that could've facilitated the hack. "When we learned of the theft, we were outraged and immediately mobilized Apple's engineers to discover the source," the tech giant said in the Sept. 2 statement. "Our customers' privacy and security are of utmost importance to us. We have discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised … None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple's systems including iCloud or Find my iPhone."
