‘To me it’s about self-reflection. It’s about where I have gotten it wrong in my relationships, where have I misstepped, where am I complicit.

‘For me, it was born out of ownership of what I call a radical inventory of self, getting really brutally honest with me and taking account of those I may have hurt, moments I have just gotten wrong.’

Pitt did not elaborate on who he ‘may have hurt’, but his most noteable past relationships were his marriages to Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston.

The actor was married to Aniston from 2000 to 2005 and then entered into a relationship with Jolie the same year.

The Once Upon A Time in Hollywood star, who is largely ‘self-taught’, had nine entries in the exhibit.

The original pieces included several under the umbrella title of ‘Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound to the House’ consisting of trapped bullets crystalized in platinum silicon.

Larger pieces included a coffin-sized bronzed box with hands, feet and faces breaking through in various angles, and a plaster wall sculpture called ‘Aiming At You I Saw Me But It Was Too Late This Time.’

One of the smaller pieces included a modest miniature house made from what appeared to be blocks of wood and tree bark.

The Oscar winner crafted several wooden ‘Candle Holders For Loved Ones’ which the artist described as ‘made in the time of Covid.’ 

No word on how much the various pieces are going for or if any has been sold. 

The actor is scheduled to re-team with his Ocean’s 13 buddy George Clooney, 61 for the as yet Untitled George Clooney/Brad Pitt/Jon Watts project described on IMDB.com as a story of ‘two lone wolf fixers who are assigned to the same job.’

His friend, deBranne Treu, attended the show and posted about it enthusiastically on social media. 

‘Last night we celebrated our dear friend, Brad Pitt’s first art show and everyone was BLOWN AWAY. To say his work is great is an understatement as he is a true artist creating out of extreme passion and drive.’

‘The dedication to his craft is humbling and inspiring.’ 

DeBranne, who is an artist herself, used spicier language to heap compliments on the Bullet Train star’s work in her Instagram stories.
