Brad Pitt debuts amazing sculptures at an art museum in Finland

You are not your job. You are not your sculpture at a fancy art gallery. You are, however, quite the Renaissance man. Not only is Brad Pitt an actor, architect and furniture designer; he’s also quite the artist. Brad Pitt has officially debuted his sculptures–but you’ll have to go to Finland to see them.

Nine works by Brad Pitt are now on display at the Sara Hildén Art Museum in Finland. These include his very first piece, titled House a Go Go, described as being “made out of tree bark, crudely held together with tape.” Hey, it’s art!

Another piece, titled Aiming At You I Saw Me But It Was Too Late This Time, is a wall piece that shows a gun battle. While stylistically and thematically different, one can see some possible inspirations from Pablo Picasso’s Guernica.

Photos of various pieces were posted on a fan Twitter account, seen below:

At the gallery opening, Brad Pitt discussed the inspirations for his pieces. “For me it’s about self reflection…It was born out of ownership over what I call a ‘radical inventory of the self’. And getting really brutally honest with me and taking account of those I may have hurt and the moments I’ve just gotten wrong.”

The exhibition, titled We, is a collaboration between Brad Pitt, musician Nick Cave and artist Thomas Houseago. It is expected to run until January 15.

Brad Pitt reportedly has a studio in his home, which he took fondly to following his divorce from Angelina Jolie.

Brad Pitt recently declared he was on the “last leg” of his movie career. With that, his 2022 has been quite busy on the Hollywood front, with The Lost City and Bullet Train already out and Damien Chazelle’s much-anticipated Babylon arriving in December. But considering he’s a jack (erm, Brad) of all trades, we’re sure he’ll do just fine in another trade.

What do you think of Brad Pitt’s artwork? Does he have the skills or should he stick to his day job? Let us know below!
