As we previously told you, last week a gallery in the southwest of France, claimed in an Instagram post they would be hosting the first exhibition of Britney Spears’ art, although reps for the singer later denied the report.
But Britney does have an artistic history, selling her first painting back in 2017 for $10,000, with proceeds going to charity. Well, now some art critics are giving their take on the painting, which was of four flowers.
- “To me, it looks like playing with expressive brush strokes and the limits of abstraction,” Dr. Amy Tobin, History Of Art Lecturer At Cambridge University, tells Dazed. “There seems to be some kind of idea behind it, the brush strokes are very considered and bold. In some way it seems an ironic play with abstract expressionism.”
- “This person isn’t depressed in my view and seems quite energized,” art therapist Amanda Wright notes. “There are four flowers, so there’s some sort of relationship going on, perhaps a family.” She adds, “It looks as though the flowers at the top are sort of dominating the flowers underneath – it’s maybe a powerful person, but also an emotional, feeling person, incorporating a bit of wisdom with the purple.”
- Finally, Robert Sandelson, Art Collector and owner of the British Art Fair, offers, “Looking at some of the shapes, they’ve got that childlike quality of Jeff Koons, who does the flower things – daffodils they’ve been called, or a bunch of anuses, ” adding, “it’s not an artistic thing, it’s more a childlike doodle.”
