BOOBS, AN ACTRESS, AND A PORN STAR

PAINTED BY RICHARD PHILLIPS, Adriana III , 2012, Oil on canvas, 96 x 144 5/8 inches

Your Main Girl took Art History 101 in undergrad and it bored her to death. However, unlike the rest of you who took your required art course and vowed never to visit a museum again YMG knew that the art world had more to offer. You just had to know where to look. 

Let YMG introduce you to Mrs. Adrianna Lima (above). She, and a few other familiar faces (see below) are on display at The Gagosian Gallery in Chelsea. Painted by Richard Phillips, these works stand over 10 ft tall and 15 ft wide. 

You thought that raunchy poster in your college dorm room was badass? Think again. 

  

Sasha Grey makes an appearance as does Lindsay Lohan. And if  the billboard size, beautifully rendered, naked bodies of the aforementioned women don't satisfy you, Mr. Phillips has provided you with video. This isn't some video you will find on the internet (well, yes you can find it on YouTube), this is movie theater quality screens and concert worthy speakers providing you with tantalizing clips of your favorite female celebrities. So before you tell Your Main Girl you will never be moved by a piece of art check out Phillip's work in person. Let her know if you, err, feel anything ;). And just maybe, if you save up your money, in a few years you can replace your Pamela Anderson poster with some big-boy art.
