A bronze sculpture of Amy Winehouse is set to go on show in London.
The sculpture, entitled Excess, shows the troubled singer sporting her trademark beehive hairstyle, sitting with a smashed champagne bottle.
The Back to Black singer’s petite body is covered with what appear to be tiny pills and she is holding a glass outstretched.
A pool of liquid lies beneath the star’s feet in the work by Guy Portelli, a sculptor from Tonbridge, Kent, South East England.
Another piece, Celebrity 1, a print by art student Charlotte Suckling, shows the 24-year-old Grammy Award winner with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.
The images are going on display at Central London’s Mall Galleries as part of its annual Royal Society of British Artists exhibition.
Portelli, whose previous subjects have included Bob Marley and Grace Jones, said of his work: “I think she is great. I would never make a sculpture of someone I didn’t respect.”
The exhibition runs from May 15 to May 25.
