Angelina Immortalized in a Painting
Did Maddox get the raw end of the deal on this artistic rendering of Angelina Jolie and her apostles? The painting is titled, “Blessed Art Thou“.
Will be on display at the Chelsea Galleria booth at the Art Miami Fair at the Miami Beach Convention Center, January 5-8th. Kate will be at the fair Friday & Saturday.
This painting addresses the celebrity worship cycle. The title, “Blessed Art Thouâ€, is taken from a line in the Catholic prayer “Hail Maryâ€: “…blessed art thou among womenâ€. Our culture is deifying celebrities, but in the bible, it is the meek who are blessed, so the title presents a question for the viewer to ponder.
I chose a setting where the cycle begins: psychologically oppressive environments like this one are one of the feeding sources for the consumer, hungry for “information†about the celebrity’s private life. I am interested in the psychological ramifications of celebrity worship, particularly as they relate to class.
Angelina Jolie was chosen as the subject because of her unavoidable presence in the media, the world-wide anticipation of her child, her “unattainable” beauty and the good that she is doing in the world through her example, which adds another layer to the already complicated questions surrounding her status.
I’m still trying to get the whole,… hovering over a grocery store motif. I get it… the supermarkets are where you buy the tabloids. Note the “US Magazine” falling off the shelf to the right of the picture.

It’s not a grocery store, it’s a wal-mart.
The artist is satirizing the fact that our consumerist, prying society demands to know all about celebrities and deifies them for nothing.
Angelina Jolie is a ‘saint’ for the mcdonald’s munching wal-mart going consumer whores of our society.
