Zurück zum eigentlichen Thema: Hier eine wirklich hervorragende Malerin, der das außergewöhnliche Talent von ihrem Vater (Gottfried Helnwein) schon in die Wiege gelegt wurde. Das Aussehen hat sie aber wohl eher von ihrer hübschen Mutter Renate. Die wundervolle (übrigens aus Österreich stammende) Mercedes Helnwein: ...

This is the modern beauty. Beauty isn't meant to be seen everyday and the commersialization of the typical beauty has made it ugly. We need something new. And we can get it. Just look... ...

I also discovered the artist Gottfried Helnwein after a period of browsing random images uploaded to Livejournal. He's absolutely brilliant though, sadly, none of his best art seems to be available as posters or prints. ...

Taiturimaisen nerokkaasta piirtäjästä kuin myös lumoavasta kirjailijasta.
"Jumalan ilon" tyttärestä (minua saksankielessä valistuneempi kämppikseni kertoi juuri aamulla minun ollessani enemmän kuin tohkeissani, liki täristen, kaikesta mikä oli järkyttänyt maailmaani tänä aamuna... hän kertoi, että Gottfried tarkoittaa Jumalan iloa). Helnweinin tytär, hän jonka taiteeseen hullaannuin heti kun löysin hänet löysi minut ja kiitti minua vaikka juuri minun on pitänyt useasti kirjoittaa hänelle ja kiittää häntä vain sen vuoksi, että hän on olemassa.
Eryneiojen eripura pyyhkiytyy pois hänen suloisen katseensa myötä ja tunnen Afroditeen sulohenkäyksen nostattavan minut jälleen kerran johonkin korkeammalle. Mercedes Helnwein. Rakkaus. ...

Continuando la perspectiva del ritual, Günter Brus, Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Yoko Ono, Saburó Murakami, Atsuko Tanaka, Gottfried Helnwein, Ushio Shinohara, Peter Wiebel, Otto Muehl, Stelarc (en su etapa inicial de Suspension), entre otros, proponen la exposición de un hecho que sucede en tiempo real y que supera la noción de ficcionalidad o emulación. ...

In one Gottfried Helnwein painting, a child sits slumped at the foot of her bed, her expression strangely blank given the other figure in the bare room — a ghostly, uniformed bunny standing at attention like something out of a nightmarish Nutcracker (or, given the rabbit’s creepy saucer-wide eyes, Donnie Darko). In another, the girl dozes as a Mad Hatter–ish beast, outfitted entirely in yellow, reaches out to scoop her up. Although children wounded both physically and psychologically have appeared in Helnwein's work since the early '70s - earning him no small measure of controversy.. ...

bought a bow tie and a dress shirt at heathrow: a bit of last minute shopping for a black tie occasion. flew to shannon, in ireland and landed in heavy rain. picked up a disgusting light blue nissan primera from the rental desk. the woman behind the counter said, 'the car we are giving you is brand new'. i thought to reply, 'thankyou i will enjoy thrashing it into submission'.
waiting outside the castle were papanazis and a few fans braving the cold (tipperary FM had given them the tip) but all were kept away by heavy security at one end of a long, torchlit drive. there was a lone (bag)piper playing outside to welcome us. helnwein's castle is amazing: tastefully decorated with antiques and pieces of his work on walls mixed with old masters' paintings. the castle had been dressed with dark red roses everywhere. ...

London - You'd expect Marilyn Manson's wedding to be a headline-grabbing, shock gothic circus of an event. Instead, his wedding to girlfriend Dita Von Teese was a fairytale set in an Irish castle - although he couldn't resist wearing black. Some 60 guests, including Lisa Marie Presley, attended the bash at Castle Gurteen in County Tipperary - home of the Mansons' friend, artist Gottfried Helnwein. Marilyn wore a John Galliano-designed black silk taffeta tux, and Dita a purple taffeta Vivienne Westwood gown with train, petticoats, a tricorn hat and a corset - what else from a burlesque performer? ...

The multi-day event — held at de La Poer Castle, County Tipperary, Ireland, home of the couple's friend, controversial Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein — included a non-denominational ceremony performed by Chilean underground film director (and Manson friend) Alejandro Jodorowsky, and the bride and groom exchanged personal vows. Manson and Jodorowsky, who directed "Santa Sangre," had been working together on a movie called "Abelcain," a project that has been suspended for the time being. ...

The shock rocker and his new bride, burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, tied the knot Saturday in Kilsheelan, County Tipperary, Ireland, before 60 guests, including Lisa Marie Presley and CSI's Eric Szmanda, People magazine reported.
The nondenominational ceremony was performed at Castle Gurteen, the home of the couple's friend, artist Gottfried Helnwein. Despite rumors suggesting the couple planned to exchange vials of their blood during the service, they merely swapped vows they had written for each other. ...
