Lazarides Gallery in Beverly Hills was THE place to be Tuesday night when British aristocracy and A-list Celebs gathered to celebrate the first solo exhibition by top British artist Jonathan Yeo (pictured with me, left). The title might be a little off putting to some, but the works of Porn in the USA are genius!
Guests included Lord Freddie Windsor and Sophie Winkleman, fashion designer Julia Clancey, actors Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans, Christina Aguilera, and former Wild Child Emma Ridley.
I overheard Emma and Christina (pictured, below) chatting about pole dancing of all things. Ridley was persuading Aguilera to come and try out a class at her new studio Goddess Fitnessand as Christina’s upcoming film is calledBurlesque (also starring the mighty Cher) it could be right right up her street!
Yeo, is known for his skillfully oil-painted portraits of stars including,Nicole Kidman, Tony Blair and Dennis Hopper, as well as a controversial collage of George W. Bush made out of pornographic images, but this exhibition features some of his most provocative works to date.
There are portraits of Sarah Palin and Tiger Woods, and I won’t even tell you which body parts I saw popping out from the collage, but after the year Tiger’s had, in his case the material was highly appropriate!
Go see this fantastic showing between July 9th and August 8th at: Lazarides Gallery 320 North Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.
