Britney Spears’ delivery of son Sean Preston was imagined by artist Daniel Edwards in a sculpture he calls, "Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston." Britney is portrayed nude posed on all fours, with her back arched, tilted pelvis, clutching a bearskin rug on which she’s kneeling, with Sean’s head crowning. (Nevermind that Britney had a C-section!)

The artist said, "Britney provides inspiration for those struggling with the ‘right choice.’ She was number one with Google last year, with good reason — people are inspired by the beauty of a pregnant woman." The co-director of the gallery where the piece is being displayed, Lincoln Capla said, "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."

The artist used as artistic reference a wax figure of Britney pole-dancing which is part of the Las Vegas’ Madame Tussauds and ‘Britney wigs’ characterizing various hairstyles of the pop-princess from a Los Angeles hairstylist. He selected to pose his meta-Britney on a bearskin rug "to convey the commemoration on of the traditional bearskin rug baby picture."

"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.
