Amy Winehouse Art - Amsterdam
Saw this is a gallery when I was in Amsterdam, but the gallery was closed, so I am not sure who the artist is. But I really dig it!

"And She's Not Even Pretty" by Courtney Love. Showing at Fred Torres Collaborations in New York from May 3 - June 15, 2012.
Finally! Rock goddess Courtney Love is making headlines not for her scandalous tweets and her wild life, but instead for a side of her that the public has not gotten to see – her art! “And She’s Not Even Pretty,” at Fred Torres Collaborations in New York showcases 45 works of art by Courtney Love. Her drawings reference the isolation of the Rock and Roll life, shattered romances, insecurity and rejection.
I'm a Celebrity. Get Me Out of Here.
During the press preview for the exhibit, Courtney Love fielded questions and she mentioned that most of the works in this exhibit were made between 2011 and 2012. It seemed that Courtney was uneasy talking to the art press but she stayed to do interviews and answer questions for about an hour and a half! I asked her who her favorite artists were and she mentioned Julian Schnabel and David LaChapelle, but said “there are so many I love.”
Not My Cunt On My Dime Mister
If you are a fan of Courtney Love’s music, you will not want to miss this exhibit as you will get to see a very vulnerable side to the hard living singer. The works range in size and below, you can see my favorite panel in the exhibit.

For more detail, head over to Fred Torres Collaborations (located at 527 West 29th Street) in New York. “And She’s Not Even Pretty” by Courtney Love runs from May 3 to June 15, 2012.
After the jump, see a photo of Courtney talking to the press as well as my signature – a photo with the artist.

Justice For Trayvon Martin!
In February 2012, Florida teen Trayvon Martin was slain by George Zimmerman who claimed self-defense. When Travyon Martin’s body was inspected, the only things in his possession were a hooded sweatshirt and a bag of Skittles! This senseless death has sparked protest marches across the USA.
There’ve been quite a lot of tributes to Trayvon Martin including the above image that was sent to us anonymously. The artist behind this work is definitely one you know, but the purpose of the piece is to draw attention to the injustice of Trayvon Martin’s senseless murder. On the package of Skittles, it says “American Teenager. Shot in self defense.” You’ll note that instead of Skittles, you see falling bullets. So tragic.
Spread the word! Justice will be served!

"Mother" by Nir Hod. Now showing at Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York through April 28, 2012.
Nir Hod’s latest exhibit, “Mother” at Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York is one that will definitely bend your noodle! It features 10 paintings referencing an iconic photograph of Nazi soldiers clearing out the Warsaw Ghetto called “Boy From Warsaw” taken by the Nazi photographer Franz Konrad in 1943. Nir Hod’s twist is that the paintings focus on the anonymous woman rather than the iconic boy!
"Boy From Warsaw" by Franz Konrad
By removing the boy from the paintings, it’s up to the viewer to come up with their own interpretation of what is going through the mind of this tragically beautiful woman. Each painting has subtle differences and when you see the set of 10 paintings side by side, be prepared to be moved!

“Mother” by Nir Hod is showing at Paul Kasmin Gallery (located at 525 west 27th Street) in New York through April 28, 2012. Don’t miss it!
