Pop-Star's Pregnancy Idealized in Brooklyn 'Monument to Pro-Life'

BROOKLYN, NY (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- A nude Britney Spears on a bearskin rug while giving birth to her firstborn marks a 'first' for Pro-Life. Pop-star Britney Spears is the "ideal" model for Pro-Life and the subject of a dedication at Capla Kesting Fine Art in Brooklyn's Williamsburg gallery district, in what is proclaimed the first Pro-Life monument to birth, in April.

Dedication of the life-sized statue celebrates the recent birth of Spears' baby boy, Sean, and applauds her decision of placing family before career. "A superstar at Britney's young age having a child is rare in today's celebrity culture. This dedication honors Britney for the rarity of her choice and bravery of her decision," said gallery co-director, Lincoln Capla. The dedication includes materials provided by Manhattan Right To Life Committee.

"Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston," believed Pro-Life's first monument to the 'act of giving birth,' is purportedly an idealized depiction of Britney in delivery. Natural aspects of Spears' pregnancy, like lactiferous breasts and protruding naval, compliment a posterior view that depicts widened hips for birthing and reveals the crowning of baby Sean's head.

The monument also acknowledges the pop-diva's pin-up past by showing Spears seductively posed on all fours atop a bearskin rug with back arched, pelvis thrust upward, as she clutches the bear's ears with 'water-retentive' hands.

"Britney provides inspiration for those struggling with the 'right choice'," said artist Daniel Edwards, recipient of a 2005 Bartlebooth award from London's The Art Newspaper. "She was number one with Google last year, with good reason --- people are inspired by the beauty of a pregnant woman," said Edwards.

Capla Kesting denies the statue was developed from a rumored bootleg Britney Spears birth video. The artist admits to using references that include the wax figure of a pole-dancing Britney at Las Vegas' Madame Tussauds and 'Britney wigs' characterizing various hairstyles of the pop-princess from a Los Angeles hairstylist. And according to gallery co-director, David Kesting, the artist studied a bearskin rug from Canada "to convey the commemoration of the traditional bearskin rug baby picture."

An appropriate location for permanent installation of "Monument to Pro-Life" by Mother's Day is being sought by the gallery.

"Monument to Pro-Life" is on view April 7th thru 23rd with a reception for the dedication April 7th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Capla Kesting Fine Art, 121 Roebling St., Brooklyn, NY. Gallery hours are 1:00 - 6:00 pm Thursday thru Sunday, or by appointment. The gallery can be reached at http://www.caplakesting.com or by phone at 646-932-5687.

The picture of this ugly statue has to be seen to be believed. - http://www.send2press.com/newswire/2...0322-003.shtml

yeah, she's representative of the victims of the pro-life movement: Uneducated trailer trash, popping out kid after kid with a douchebag greaseball husband, subsisting on a diet of cheetos and beer.

The artist could have at least attempted accuracy with the baby emerging from a gaping slash across her abdomen. Sheesh.

At first I thought this was a joke!!!!!

And since she had a planned C section for the sole reason that she was too afraid of the pain of labor and vaginal birth,this portayal of her birthing her baby is even more absurd.

and due to her herpes

This has got to be a joke. The statue looks like the moment of conception, not birth. Everything about this whole thing is just WRONG.

And what does this mean?

Who are these "victims?"

Ewwwwww!!! How are you supposed to get afterbirth out of a bearskin rug?

I must say that the artist was awfully kind. She looked nothing like that in reality.

Where in the HELL is PETA when ya need 'em?

The 'victims' of this ridiculous mentality, usually young girls either coerced or forced into taking the child to term and then rearing it in said hideous environment with an applicable Cletus-figure.

What the hell is wrong with these people, childbirth isn't sexy, it's painful! Has any woman ever given birth in that position? Being on all fours is how we become pregnant in the first place.
