Singer Amy Winehouse has been honoured in many ways since her sudden death in July, and now a memorial bust by artist Daniel Edwards has been added to the list.
The controversial sculptor, who is behind Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez''s nude statue, has created a tattoo-less, topless bust of the late singer, titled ''Memorial Portrait for Amy Winehouse'', the Hollywood Reporter said.
The New York based-artist has also added a songbird and lilies into her hair.
"I thought of her as a beautifully delicate fairytale princess, waiting to be rescued from fame and addiction, but her prince never came. I had always expected to sculpt her portrait, but I was waiting for her to put some of her troubles behind her. She had made me pay attention to contemporary music again," said Edwards.
"The portrait of Amy is dedicated to those struggling with addiction and eating disorder. Nobody should have to go through what Amy went through," said Cory Allen, the artist''s representative.
Edwards has previously made headlines for his unusual works including ''Justin & Selena Forever'' and ''Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston'' featuring a pregnant Britney Spears.
Daniel Edwards‘ website says his “pieces address celebrity and popular culture in ways that have often stirred controversy” and it’s not lying, take for example his naked Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez statue, or his Angelina Jolie breastfeeding piece, or even his naked Paris Hilton with dog and his latest design will definitely continue the trend of getting people talking, having today unveiled his Bronze topless Amy Winehouse bust.
