Hornsleth gives this exhibition a strange name "Just Be Rich" because he strongly believes buying his work will make the buyer a millionaire.
"Buy Hornsleth, hang it on your wall and wait 10 years. Today you are investing 10,000 euros (US$12,000), in 10 years it has a value of 500,000 euros," he says.
Actually Hornsleth had thought of naming the exhibition "Fuck You Art Lovers."
"There's so much terrible and boring art out there," he explains. "You easily waste your time. Be sharp and be critical. Trust your own taste and follow your heart. I paint with the blood of the soul and will continue to do so until I drop dead. Welcome to the temple where nothing is sacred. Truth is beauty."
Two radically contrasting paintings, one showing the body of a very old woman and the other a blooming young beauty, are highlights of the exhibition.
"What is time, what is human flesh?" Hornsleth says like a Buddhist. "So enjoy life now and don't make trouble because everybody will grow old in the end."
Alert visitors will see that this artist has put his family name, "Hornsleth" on all of his works, from paintings and jewelry to even his bleached jeans.
