An Ideal Heiress by Iké Udé 
At once bemoaning and celebrating the rise of contemporary society’s celebrity fascination, as well as the resulting media marvel that has become hotel heiress Paris Hilton, Iké Udé, Nigerian-born, New York-based “artist, publisher and style icon” has presented a series of paintings, sculptures and photographs in his latest exhibition at Stefan Stux Gallery in Manhattan’s Chelsea.
 
Udé’s artwork is also featured as a part of the permanent collections of New York’s Solomon Guggenheim Museum and the Smithsonian National Museum in Washington DC. Additionally, Udé is the founder and publisher of aRUDE Magazine and author of Style File: The World’s Most Elegantly Dressed.
 
The Stux Gallery focuses on exhibiting “mid-career, emerging and well-established artists ranging from painting and photography to sculpture, installation, and performance artwork… work [which] shares an interest in challenging the boundaries of genre and medium, often with a deeply conceptual bent, always with an aesthetically rewarding engagement with the material and formal presentation of the work.”
 
Udé’s  “Paris Hilton: Fantasy and Simulacrum” will be on exhibition now through January 24th. The Stux Gallery is located at 530 West 25th Street.
 
As our favorite celebutante would respond, That's hot!
