KEY POINTS

  • The press release claiming Justin Bieber has an erotic art show coming up is false, according to his rep

  • The gallery owner did not respond when asked if the event was a scam or just a parody performance art

Justin Bieber does not have an "erotic" art show coming up, according to his rep.

A press release about Bieber allegedly having a "profound" and "erotic" art show made the rounds earlier this week. However, his rep immediately shut it down.

Page Six reached out to the "Yummy" singer's rep who denied it. "Not real!" the rep said.

A press release for the show, dubbed "Paintings From Space," went out this week, purportedly from Harry Gablowsian, the owner of the new Gablowsian Gallery.

"It is our distinct pleasure to launch Gablowsian Gallery NYC with the first solo show of paintings by Justin Bieber," the press release read as per Page Six. "The works evoke intimacy, childhood dreams and family all with subtle layers of eroticism, joy and the gestation of sexual identity."

The announcement claimed that the artworks were made with acrylics, spray paint and markers. The artworks allegedly embodied "a natural sense of freedom and abandonment."

"Even though they are stream of conscious works, they hold tight to a formal training and art historical framework. While many will try to pinpoint a source/origin artist to reference, these works are truly individual and are distinctively profound," the press release added.

The outlet also reached out to Gablowsian for comment on the event, and he kept up the bit saying over the email that they have already sold half of the collection starting in the six-figure range. The other half is reportedly being shopped to private collectors.

Page Six asked if Bieber would be present at the art show and was told that the "Sorry" crooner will be there. However, they won't say the exact date for his safety.

"Justin will be visiting the show during the run of November 4-6," Gablowsian said. "Due to safety concerns (and COVID) we are not letting the general public know exactly when."

When directly asked if the show was a scam, or if they were only doing a parody or performance art, the so-called gallery owner reportedly clammed up.

Bieber has a massive art collection that he shows off on Instagram sometimes. In December 2019, Bieber and his wife, Hailey Baldwin, put 17 pieces from their collection up for auction. The proceeds went to two charities dedicated to fighting poverty, LIFT Los Angeles and Inner-City Arts, Architectural Digest reported.
