Amy Winehouse Turned Into Pop Art In London

The exhibition is the creation of artist Gerald Laing, who painted the images from newspaper cut-outs of the singer.

Laing told thelondonpaper that he was “fascinated” by Winehouse - who he described as an “icon”.

“Every time you see her, even when she has had a night on the tiles, certain things – her make-up, her beehive – are always intact,” he said.

Among the images is a shot of Winehouse hugging her mother, Jannis, after accepting a Grammy award last year. These is also a pop art piece of the singer visiting her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, in prison.

Laing, who has met the singer, is renowned for painting images which are inspired by celebrities and astronauts.
