Grimes is selling a piece of her soul as art in online exhibition

by

Musician and wife to Elon Musk Claire Boucher (alias Grimes) is set to debut her first fine art show in online exhibitions on Gallery Platform Los Angeles from May 28 through June 3 and Maccarone Los Angeles from May 28 through Aug. 31.

The singer is selling drawings, prints, photographs, and conceptual pieces she’s made over the last decade in a show titled Selling Out, reported the Bloomberg.

“I made art 10, 12 years before I ever touched a keyboard,” she told the outlet on a Zoom video call, wearing a Rodarte sweatshirt and a headband with bunny ears. “I see myself as a visual artist first and I’ve always felt strange that people know me for my music.”

The prints, drawings, photographs, and other work, she said, are a continuation of, rather than a departure from, her music. Grimes’s described them as “edgy-looking, anime-horror.” Such visuals can be seen in her music videos as early as 2012’s Genesis.
