Critic Hates Adrien Brody's Paintings As Much As Fans Hated His Oscars Speech
HuffPost
The actor's art show at a New York gallery got brutalized in a review.
A critic went scorched-earth on actor Adrien Brody’s art exhibition in New York City ― and that might be putting it lightly.
Alex Greenberger of ARTnews called the Oscar winner’s mixed-media work at Eden Gallery “horrendous” and “hideous.” He wrote that Brody’s use of cartoon characters in pop-art-inspired paintings “are about as subtle as a sledgehammer.”
“With its faux naïve aesthetic and its mediocre production value, Brody’s works beg the question: Why are we still talking about them?” the critic sniped.
In the review, posted Thursday, Greenberger also chastised Brody’s apparent attempt to forge a “cringe-worthy” connection between himself and the late great Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Brody’s reimaginings of Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe paintings also suffer mightily by comparison, according to Greenberger.
