About this Artwork: Trismegistus was Marilyn Manson's second art exhibition, held in Paris and Berlin. Paintings exhibited largely included but were not limited to works displayed during The Golden Age of Grotesque exhibition. This exhibition featured nine new additions on display. This exhibition spanned from September 14, 2004 until September 15, 2004. Trismegistus (painting)Trismegistus is a painting by Marilyn Manson. It depicts a portrait of a three-headed Jesus Christ, possibly referring to Satan as he was depicted in Dante's Inferno, and was painted on a nineteenth century wood embalming table. The title of this artwork is also the title of two of Manson's exhibitions, one in 2004 and one in 2008.A shirt featuring this artwork was sold in 2004 and 2005 with beLIEve written on the back. Trismegistus (2008 art exhibition)Trismegistus is a promotional art exhibition by Marilyn Manson held in Miami, Florida, USA at the 101/Exhibit. The exhibition was opened to the Public through December 4, 2008 through February 20, 2009. Marilyn Manson Paintings: Inaugural ExhibitionGalerie Brigitte Schenk Marilyn Manson: TrismegistusDecember 5, 2008 – February 20, 2009Vernissage: December 5, 7-9 pm101 NE 40th Street, Miami Multi-talented artist Marilyn Manson, legendary for the cult status of his music career and persona, has simultaneously been creating a large and remarkable body of painting over the past two decades that will be revealed for the first time in the U.S. this December. Just as Manson’s lyrics are provocative, driving the expressive form of music to its limits, the artist’s paintings, though aesthetically pleasing, play with the grotesque and confront the viewer with the dark side of the American Dream – its obsessions and pitfalls. This exhibition of more than twenty paintings is presented by the Cologne-based Galerie Brigitte Schenk in cooperation with 101 Exhibit, a dynamic new art space in Miami’s design district. The show will remain on view through February 2009.Trismegistus features Manson’s paintings from the past eight years. Looking at the works, one enters the artist’s deep, haunted world and his existential exploration of the human condition. The artist focuses on the more unpleasant and controversial sides of life – real and fictional – as conveyed through both subject matter and distorted notions of beauty. Parallels to the style and to the “sadomasochistic eroticism” of the German Expressionist painter Egon Schiele can hardly be overlooked, as David Galloway remarked in an article entitled “Gothic Revival” (ARTnews 2007). He continued, “Manson’s subjects are consistent with his bizarre and morbid image: disease, mutilation, addiction, homicide.”The titles sometimes lighten up the darker, more sensational events that Manson evokes, including: study of the murderess Elizabeth Short, celebrated in the media as the Black Dahlia, bears the title “Elizabeth Short as Snow White, You’re sure you will be comfortable?”, “Jon Benet Ramsey as Sleeping Beauty II”, and “Übermensch” painted in honor of Christopher Reeve. Several others allude to Manson’s own angst, as in “Green Whore of Love (series I),” “I’ve got my arm around no one,” and “The man who eats his fingers” (which the artist specifically notes was produced with caffeine-free chamomile tea).“Marilyn Manson is a living work of art and an anti-popstar. His fine art is an extension of his complex personality and expansive creativity – from his performance art on stage, to his song writing, to his intimate and revealing paintings,” stated his gallerist, Brigitte Schenk. “After tremendous popular and critical response to his recent show in Cologne, where over 1,000 people attended the opening, Manson’s works are now in collections worldwide. We’re thrilled to introduce his art to U.S. audiences for the first time during Art Basel Miami.”Marilyn MansonThe artist known as Marilyn Manson took his pseudonym from the names Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson – figures whom he sees as reflecting the ultimate and most disturbing dualism of American culture. From the beginning of his career as a musician, Manson has also been active as a painter. The oldest of his surviving pieces date back to 1995. After a brief “grey period” Manson began painting watercolors in 1999. His manic creativity has been documented in a number of exhibitions. In 2002, he had a show in Los Angeles and two years later presented his “Trismegistus” piece – a large three-headed Christ – in Paris and in Berlin. In 2006 Manson opened a temporary art gallery in Los Angeles, and in April 2007, recent works were exhibited at Galerie Brigitte Schenk, Cologne.Galerie Brigitte SchenkStarting her career in the German branch of the Dia Art Foundation, Brigitte Schenk worked with Joseph Beuys and A.R. Penck, and as a private curator until she launched her own art gallery in Cologne 14 years ago. The gallery specializes in modern and contemporary art of all disciplines. The program also focuses on contemporary Arabian art, and Schenk has organized exhibitions and projects with the United Arab Emirates for the past eight years including: curating the collection for H.H. Shiekah Hoor Al Qasimi, a collaboration with Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, and an exhibition of Thomas Walther for the Sharjah Art Museum. Marilyn Manson is one of the more recent artists to join the gallery, which also shows Hans Peter Adamski, Curtis Anderson, Klaus Fritze, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Shahram Karimi, A.R. Penck, Mariy Zerres and many more.101 ExhibitJerome Shaw, a Miami-based collector, will inaugurate 101 Exhibit this December with Manson’s Trismegistus. The contemporary art space will focus on challenging work by emerging and established artists. MARILYN MANSON EXHIBITS NEW PAINTINGS IN HIS INAUGURAL U.S. EXHIBTION, TRISMEGISTUS, AT 101 EXHIBIT, A NEW GALLERY SPACE IN THE DESIGN DISTRICT, DURING ART BASEL MIAMI, DECEMBER 2008 Media Event with the Artist: December 4, 3 pm, Hotel Gansevoort, Miami (TBD) Opening Event (by invitation only): December 4, 6-8 pm, 101 NE 40th Street, Miami Presented by Galerie Brigitte Schenk, Cologne, and 101 Exhibit, Miami On view to the public: Vernissage Preview: December 5, 7pm – 9pm Public Viewing: December 5, 2008 – Februrary 20, 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Legendary for his music career and persona, under the moniker Marilyn Manson, lesser known are Manson’s talents as a fine art painter which will be revealed in his first U.S. exhibition this December during Art Basel Miami. The artist will exhibit a series of more than twenty watercolor paintings that he has been creating for over two decades alongside his career as a musician, and for which comparisons to Egon Schiele and Francesco Clemente have been made. Just as Manson’s lyrics are considered provocative, the artist’s watercolors, while being aesthetically pleasing, slyly confront the viewer by addressing the underbelly of society’s obsessions and pitfalls. The work will be presented by his Cologned-based Galerie Brigitte Schenk, at 101 Exhibit, a new exhibition space in Miami’s design district, during Art Basel Miami 2008 and remain on view through February 2009. “Marilyn Manson is a fiercely intelligent and multi-talented person as evidenced from his song wrtiting to his performances to his intimate paintings that are a natural extension of his creativity. The work provides a glimpse of the angst that often accompanies a sensitive person’s relationship to celebrity and a hyper-awareness of the morbid in the world,“ stated his gallerist Brigitte Schenk. “After tremendous popular and critical response to his recent show in Cologne, where over 1,000 people attended the opening, we’re thrilled to introduce the work to U.S. audiences, many who will see it for the first time.“ Trismegistus features Mansonís paintings from the past eight years.

MARILYN MANSON Reveals Brand-New Art Exhibit: TRISMEGISTUS MARILYN MANSON will follow up his much-acclaimed 2002 art exhibit debut with "Trismegistus". This art exhibit is scheduled to take place this month in Europe, with U.S. dates to be announced soon. "Trismegistus", an exhibit of artwork by Marilyn Manson, will be held Tuesday, September 14 in Paris, France at Hotel Lutetia. A second display will follow on Tuesday, September 21 at 40 Seconds on Potsdamer Str. in Berlin. This event will be the second showing of Manson's artwork and will feature over 20 paintings, many of them new. Marilyn Manson's "Trismegistus" Offers Shock and Schlock After years as a lightning rod for controversy, shock-meister Marilyn Manson has swapped the microphone for a paintbrush, strutting his gloomy goth vibe into the art world.

After years as a lightning rod for controversy, shock-meister Marilyn Manson has swapped the microphone for a paintbrush, strutting his gloomy goth vibe into the art world. In his jarring exhibit, showing at the Design District's fresh-squeezed 101 Exhibit space, Manson serves up a steaming pile of the abject with grisly panache."Trismegistus" features nearly 30 medium- and large-scale watercolor paintings that are as provocative as Manson's lyrics and riff on the cult of celebrity, mutilation, dementia, and homicide.It's the debut show for 101 Exhibit, which opened during Art Basel. "This isn't going to be the type of place where people will find watercolors of lilies on the walls," says Sloan Schaffer, an architect who bought the building a year ago and plans to follow a model he calls atypical for a gallery, focusing on "Gothic, pop, and surrealist art." Indeed his debut exhibit stands out like an amputated thumb in the nabe full of swank design shops."It's going to be more of an exhibition space than a gallery. We are more interested in exhibiting powerful work," Shaffer explains. "That's why we chose to open with Manson, irrespective of his celebrity. His work is really strong. In a way we are looking at this show as sort of a soft retrospective." The exhibit includes Manson's paintings from the past eight years, ranging in price from a whopping $38,000 to $160,000. Collectors have already snagged seven of them.Sloan is presenting the show in collaboration with Cologne's Galerie Brigitte Schenk, which hosted Manson's exhibit this past summer in Germany. While in town for the opening, Manson was allegedly booted out of Cologne Cathedral for his unnerving getup.More than likely, Cologne's religious elders were protesting Manson's morbid opus from which his exhibit takes its title.Named for an ancient occult alchemist, Trismegistus depicts a decapitated three-headed Jesus Christ dripping gore down the antique embalmer's table on which the image is painted. The Savior's bloody mutant noggin is crowned with so many thorns it looks like he's wearing a porcupine.The piece is perhaps the weakest in the show and seems shoehorned into the exhibit by a conceit of the artist. It also occupies pride of place at the rear of the gallery and is ensconced behind velvet ropes as if considered the holiest of holies. Unfortunately the result is more schlock than shock, and it backfires.Manson's other works, however, are better and show both his promise and shortcomings as an artist. In another room of the gallery, for example, he has re-created several images of Elizabeth Short, better known as the Black Dahlia, on an autopsy table.Short was the victim in one of Tinseltown's most famous unsolved murders. The 22-year-old woman's nude body was discovered severely mutilated, sawed in half at the midriff, and drained of blood in a vacant Los Angeles lot in 1947.Her face was slashed from the corners of her mouth to her ears, giving her a nightmarish appearance. In lush paintings that creep under the skin, Manson deftly conveys the savage act in Elizabeth Short as Snow White (A Smile II), featuring a closeup of Short's face with her blood-stained pearlies peeking through the wreckage of her lips. The victim's raven tresses prop up her features like a pillow and contrast eerily with the painting's ornate frame. Hiding the horrors inflicted upon Short's torso, Manson has applied an almost romantic insinuation of flesh using a sad wash of faded pink hues at the bottom of the picture.Manson gives sway to his darker demons with another Short homage, this one depicting the slain victim as she was photographed at the medical examiner's office.Elizabeth Short as Snow White, "You're sure you will be comfortable?" shows the butchered woman pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle, her torn flesh and gutted cavity exposed with grotesque ruby blooms of color.On a nearby wall, Manson further mines the celebrity/crime angle with a portrait of JonBenét Ramsey as Sleeping Beauty, in which the girl appears as a blissful princess rather than a murder victim.Manson, who in the past has expressed an interest in the writings of Nietzsche, displays his twisted sense of irony in a painting of Christopher Reeve, where the actor appears wearing his Superman tights while sitting in a wheelchair.Manson also employs humor in Die Deutsche Kampferin, one of his older works in the show, where a naked Hitler stands with a limp tallywhacker and B-cup boobs while clutching his hands behind his back. The Führer's gob is coated in a mercurochrome smear that heightens the menace. Oddly, Manson tones down the bile by placing a patch of purple and gold irises growing at Hitler's side.He also focuses his gun sights inward, painting himself as a grizzled absinthe-drinking crone in When I Get Old, rendered in moss greens and sickly purples. His back is bent like a bobby pin from the apparitions and grotesques that crowd his mind.Even Manson's stab at painting an innocent baby gets a fright-night shellacking. Ready or Not Tot features a megacephalic tyke with a droopy eye and putrefying flesh.Next to the rotting infant is The Man Who Eats His Fingers, which Manson professed to have painted using caffeine-free chamomile tea. The corseted mook in the picture sprouts strawberry nipples and hollow eyes set deep in cadaverous cheekbones above a crimson craw. He holds up the bloody stumps of his hands while flies swarm like Japanese Zeros behind him.Walking through the gallery, one notices two things: The show is uneven, and Manson has some artistic talent. But like his music, this exhibit isn't for everyone. One of the paintings, aptly titled Masquerade, depicts a man wearing a gas mask and could be an apt metaphor for how spectators might react to Manson's artistic overtures. Some folks will either love them or think they stink to high heaven. Others will find them well worth the visit and an intriguing revelation into a conflicted soul.
