The first gallery showing of Marilyn Manson’s art opens this Friday in LA. Manson has described his ‘The Golden Age of Grotesque’ exhibition as a demonstration in “conflict, whereby viewers experience mixed reactions. I'm pointing out the interesting ways to take pretty colours to make grotesque images. Or to take grotesque images and paint them with pretty colours and make them into something that's very provocative and interesting." Admission to the exhibition is free and all the pieces on show are up for sale, though Mason isn’t too keen on parting with them all: "I don't want to sell any of them, but I have to let go at some point. I think the most famous one is the one I did for Rolling Stone of [Columbine shooters Eric] Harris and [Dylan] Klebold, with the hand making a peace sign with the two kids' head on it." Word is Manson has pretty much finished his next album, also called ‘The Golden Age of Grotesque’, though a release date is yet to be set.
