A controversial artist has unveiled his latest creation - a statue showing teen singer Justin Bieber and his celebrity girlfriend as Adam and Eve.

Teen Choice Award winners Bieber and Selena Gomez are presented as a 21st Century Adam and Eve in a new life size portrait created by American Daniel Edwards.

It depicts the teenagers almost entirely nude, with a Canadian maple leaf and a Texas lone star covering their most intimate parts.

The portrait will be unveiled at Dallas's New Fine Arts, near Gomez's hometown, at a time yet to be announced by Cory Allen Contemporary Art.

Titled Justin and Selena as One, it features the naked couple conjoined at the torso, each seeming to emerge from the other's rib.

Together, they have three legs, sharing Selena's right leg as she appears to lead the younger Justin toward 'Eden'. 

The couple are being led by an amorous Canada goose and Texas armadillo.

The portrait was said to be partly inspired by Canadian Bieber's boasts of Canada's successful single payer national health care system.

Edwards said his creation 'should be considered for installation at Canadian Embassies around the globe as a symbol of Canada's prowess in the areas of art and commerce.' 

He added: 'I believe Justin and Selena would ultimately choose Canada for their Garden of Eden, because Canada's Medicare and AAA credit rating make it easier for young couples who may find themselves in the family way.'

Edwards' spokesman Cory Allen said: 'Justin and Selena joined together, symbolizes the great harmony between neighbouring countries Canada and The United States.

Daniel is the sculptor known for his controversial works that include a statue of Britney Spears giving birth, Michelle Obama topless, Oprah with her late dogs and Paris Hilton's insides.

Justin and Selena aren't the first celebrity couple he has sculpted. In 2009, he made a statue of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in a lovers' embrace titled simply Brangelina.

He also immortalised Angelina in the nude, with her twins Vivienne and Knox suckling at either breast.
