\"\"In the actor's first-ever public art exhibition, Brad Pitt has unveiled his sculptures in a lakeside art museum in Finland, the gallery said on Monday.<\/p>\n

Located in Finland's third largest city of Tampere, this is the first time the “largely self-taught” American star presented his sculptures to the public, Sara Hilden Art Museum said.<\/p>\n

Pitt's sculptures were revealed by the actor himself on Saturday as part of a larger exhibition by British artist Thomas Houseago, alongside a ceramic series by Australian alternative rocker Nick Cave.<\/p>\n

“For Nick and I this is a new world and our first entry. It just feels right,” Pitt told Finnish broadcaster Yle at the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n

Pitt's work includes a moulded plaster panel “depicting a gunfight” and a series of house-shaped silicone sculptures that each have been shot with a different gauge of ammunition.<\/p>\n

“To me it's about self-reflection. It's about where I have gotten it wrong in my relationships, where have I misstepped,” Pitt said at the opening.<\/p>\n

The 58-year-old actor's unexpected visit took the Nordic country by surprise as his involvement in the exhibition was not previously announced.<\/p>\n

“In that sense this is exciting and wonderful,” Chief Curator Sarianne Soikkonen told AFP.<\/p>\n

As well as hosting Pitt's sculptures for the first time, the art show is Houseago's exhibition debut in the Nordic countries.<\/p>\n

The decision to include his friends Cave and Pitt in his exhibition was shaped by the pandemic and “events in Houseago's personal life”, Soikkonen said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
