Artist Exposes Bieber’s ‘Private Parts’ in ExhibitA companion artwork, “Allegory of a Teen Sex Symbol (Justin Bieber)”,shows the hidden private parts of Bieber atop a Canadian maple leaf in a manner inspired by renaissance painter Giuseppe Acrimboldo and sixties rock star groupie Cynthia Plaster Caster. “The Bieber genitalia are artistically symbolized, not depicted,” says Allen. “Daniel wanted to create a work that opens a dialogue about the inevitable exploitation of teen sex symbols as they grow from child stars to adults, like we’ve seen with past celebutantes Lindsay, Miley, and Britney.”
The artist’s portrayal of Bieber’s pelvic organ will be shown with a bootleg plaster cast of Jimi Hendrix’s private parts at Dallas’s New Fine Arts, located at 1966 W. Northwest Hwy. A sneak peek is being offered this week in the artist’s hometown at Thaddeus C Gallery in La Porte, Indiana |
