According to Daily Mail, Babyshambles rocker, incarceree, and Kate Moss's former flame, Pete Doherty debuted an exhibition of his bloody paintings at the Chappe Gallery in the Montmartre district Paris last week, despite the fact that he's currently serving time behind bars.
The gruesome exhibit features 30 paintings by l'artiste, including "one blood and pencil image of the supermodel, entitled 'Miss Moss reclines', shows her topless lying on a sofa," one self-portrait scribbled with "with the baffling initials S.K., V.I.C., a Star of David and a swastika," and in another, the known drug offender "signed his name in blood from one of his
needles," giving a whole new meaning to the term "needlework." While I do think people should have the right to decide what constitutes art, and it's always interesting to see boundaries tested, I must admit that I find this quite macabre. It'll be interesting to hear how the turnout goes; the exhibit runs until May 11. Do you think he is a genuine artist or do you think he should stick with singing? Once he rides out his jail sentence, that is . . .

I dated one of those once, tortured artist/musician. SO over it. I think he needs mental help, not an art career.
1No thanks!
2UGH. Terrible.
3I think his work is rather interesting and compelling. The more I see of him, the more convinced I am that this is the Sid Vicious of our day.
