It would seem that the artistic apple does not fall far from the artistic tree … Frances Bean Cobain, only child born of Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain, is currently showing an exhibit of her artwork here in LA under the pseudonym Tim Fiddle (which sounds like an allusion to the Harry Potter character Tom Riddle … who eventually becomes the villain Lord Voldemort). Here is our first look at some of Frances‘s artwork from her current exhibit called Scumfuck on display now at the Luz de Jesus gallery inside the Wackoo novelty shop in Los Feliz, CA:

You wouldn’t expect the first art show by the teenage daughter of Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain to be middle of the road. And Frances Bean Cobain does not disappoint. In fact, the images the 17-year-old comes up with in Los Angeles are extremely disturbing. Under the pseudonym Tim Fiddle, Frances Bean’s exhibit of notebook sketches is called Scumfuck. No doubt her parents would be proud of the name. The mostly charcoal drawings depict ghoulish faces and distorted features. Each sketch has accompanying captions, including one that says, ‘Treat Me Like Your Mother Or I’ll Eat the Sun,’ another that reads ‘Goat Shit, and a third that says ‘I Don’t Owe You Shit’ The centrepiece of the exhibit is a portrait of the American punk rock musician G.G. Allin. The singer/songwriter is probably best known for his outlandish antics, including defecating and urinating on stage and performing naked. Allin died of a heroin overdose in 1993 at the age of 36 … Last year, she celebrated her Sweet 16 birthday with a suicide-themed party at The House of Blues in Los Angeles. The teenager will inherit a sizable amount of money from her late father’s estate when she turns 18 next month. In the meantime, all the drawings from her exhibit have apparently been sold. The sketches were listed between $250 and $400 each. The display is on throughout July at the La Luz De Jesus Gallery in East LA.

I’m not at all surprised that Frances is trying her hand at art … it seems pretty evident that this is just the beginning. I seem to recall that a few years ago she voiced interest in fashion and fashion design so I think this is only the tip of the iceberg where her artistic leanings lie. To be honest, I’m not all that impressed with any of these sketches … but they do so potential. If anything, they remind me of Marilyn Manson‘s artwork. I’m not at all surprised that all of her sketches sold, considering Frances‘s famous pedigree you can be sure that any of her art that goes up for sale will be bought up immediately. This is a nice first look at the girl’s artistic talent, I think. I can’t wait to see how her work will mature.
