Brad Pitt with his work

Brad Pitt exhibited his sculptures at the Sarah Hilden Art Museum in Tampere (Finland). The Hollywood actor is showing his artwork to the public for the first time. British sculptor Thomas Hausago and Australian rock musician Nick Cave are also participating in the exhibition (showing their ceramics – this is also his first film).

Pitt’s work includes sculptures in the form of a full-wall plasterboard depicting a gunfight and transparent silicone houses with bullet holes.

Guns are a part of Pitt’s life, both on and off the screen. He played an assassin in his latest movie, Faster than a Bullet, and he and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie were also once custom handguns. Pitt started making art shortly after Jolie filed for divorce in 2016.

At the opening of the exhibition, she said her artistic practice was born from what she called “a radical inventory of herself” – a desire to “be really brutally honest with herself” and reflect on those and moments that may have offended her. which did it wrong.

He told Finnish public broadcaster YLE.

The original plan was to showcase only Thomas Housego’s work, but reportedly persuaded the museum to include the work of his friends Pitt and Cave. Pitt was previously familiar with Hausago and its work. House A Go Go, Pitt’s first sculpture made from scrap wood in 2017, is a pun on the artist’s name.

Cave created a series of 17 ceramic figurines depicting the life of the devil for the exhibition. He worked on them from 2020 to this year.
