Ben Heine Art and Music Blog: January 2010

Lhasa de Sela
.

Lhasa was an American-born singer-songwriter who
died of breast cancer on the evening of January 1,
2010. She was only 37 years old. I really loved
her deep voice, her meaningful words, her
intensity and her sensual rhythm, search
her music on You Tube... We lost a
great and talented soul. RIP :(

Half Human - Half Animal

This is just the (unfinished) preparatory
sketch, the final painting is coming soon.

Every year in April, Art Brussels opens its doors and welcomes more than 30 000 professionals, collectors and art lovers from all over the world. Art Brussels is the European platform for upcoming talents in the field of contemporary art and focuses as well on strong established galleries representing a selection of their highest-quality paintings, sculptures, photography, video and installations.

Andy Warhol

.
This is my portrait of the famous American Pop artist.
The hole in his torso symbolizes the way he survived
from an attempted assassination in 1968. Warhol was
seriously wounded by the attack and barely survived.
He suffered physical effects for the rest of his life. The
shooting had a profound effect on Warhol's life and art.
