Shockingly, Brad Pitt turns out to be a very fine sculptor - The Guardian

Pitt is not the first star to try his hand at art, but his finely wrought, intelligent reflections of American violence make him one of the very best.

I would assume Brad Pitt has a pretty enviable life, even in the throes of his messy divorce from Angelina Jolie.

And dropping into a museum in Finland to exhibit his sculptures alongside works by his pals Nick Cave and Thomas Houseago sounds like another cool extension of it.

So it would only be fair to the rest of us if he fell flat on his face like other celebrities who dabble in art.

The involvement of Houseago is a clue that Pitt is up to something substantial rather than self-indulgent.

And as an art world mag reported recently, he “counts celebrities like Brad Pitt among his closest friends”.

Or perhaps he was dealing with the on-screen violence of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood when he created it in 2020.

Brad Pitt is an extremely impressive artist.
