A critic burned in the art exhibition of actor Adrien Brody in New York City, and that could be putting it lightly.

Alex Greenberger, from Artnews, called the work of mixed media of the Oscar winner in the Eden “Horendous” and “Hideous” gallery. He wrote that the use of Brody cartoon characters in paintings inspired by pop art is as subtle as a deck. “

“With his false naive aesthetics and his mediocre production value, Brody’s works raise the question: why do we keep talking about them?” The critic shot.

In the review, published on Thursday, Greenberger also punished Brody’s apparent attempt to forge a “worthy” connection between him and the deceased great Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Brody’s reimaginations of Andy Warhol Marilyn Monroe paintings also suffer powerfully compared, according to Greenberger.

“Where Warhol Monroes feel lush, Brody looks cheap and contaminated,” Greenberger wrote.

One of Marilyn’s works by Brody was sold for almost $ 425,000 (including lunch with the actor) in the amfar benefit of the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Adrien Brody asked goodbye to one of his works for almost $ 425,000 at the recent Amfar Gala in France.

But the reviewer was not impressed. A great extension about Brody’s mixed media art in the New York Times did not move it either.

“These paintings for almost any other person, no one would think twice, the New York Times I would not have shed so much ink, and I wouldn’t be writing this, “Greenberger wrote.

Brody’s work has other detractors, but Greenberger’s critic could have been the most memorable.

Just a few months ago, Brody won his second best Oscar actor for “The Brutalist.” Then he obtained Brickbats for his too indulgent acceptance speech.
