Brad Pitt’s Debut as A Finnish Sculpturer in Finland Exhibition
The largest pieces include a bronze coffin-sized box that depicts hands, feet, and faces trying to break through the structure from different angles. Also, the plaster wall-hanging sculpture “Aiming at You I Saw Me But it Was Too Late This time” depicts an eight-figure gunfight.
After his divorce from Angelina Jolie in 2017, the “Bullet Train” star began ceramic art.
Pitt wrote in an email statement to The Art Newspaper that his artistic journey was about “self-reflection.” It came out of ownership over what I refer to as a “radical inventory” of myself. Being brutally honest with myself and taking into account those who have hurt me as well as the times I’ve gotten wrong.
According to a press release, Nick Cave, an Australian singer-songwriter, is making his artistic debut. He shows “glazed ceramic figurines portraying the life and death of Satan in 17 stations.
Cave’s first major visual work is “The Devil: A Life”. The 17 pieces range in height from 6 to 19.5 inches. They were each individually hand-crafted, painted, and glazed by Cave between 2020-2022. The series is aesthetic and pays tribute to Cave’s love for Victorian Staffordshire Flatback figurines.
These works were created by both novice sculptors and Houseago, who is much more experienced. This British artist has been working for almost three decades. He exhibited work at the Whitney Biennial 2010.
Houseago, an artist best known for his sculptures, displays a selection of paintings in Tampere. This medium is something he has been experimenting with in recent years. These works are from Houseago’s large-scale series “Visions”, which he made outdoors. They were inspired by European symbolists, such as Edvard Munch of Norway. He also displays new sculptures from plaster and redwood that he created in response to the Sara Hilden Foundation’s collection, including Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture “Woman on a Chariot”, which spanned the period 1943-1962.
Houseago stated in a press release that he was not an “I”. He is a “WE!” when referring to his decision to put on a show together with Cave and Pitt.
