The bad faith of a famous singer took a creative turn. Justin Timberlake's drunk driving arrest inspired a piece of pop art. It is on display in a gallery in the Hamptons village where he ran into the law.
Timberlake's photo from that night became “Tuesday Night Out Featuring Justin Timberlake.” The artist is Godfrey Lohman. The work hangs at the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor.
Translating Timberlake's misstep into art proved a big draw. Gallery owner Romany Kramoris was thrilled: “My reaction was, 'Oh my God!' This is great!'” People line up to photograph the eye-catching piece.
Gallery staffer Leslie Raff praises the modern vibe of the artwork: “It's our most contemporary piece! It's on point.” Several copies sold for $520 each. An unlikely outcome stemmed from Timberlake's arrest.
That fateful evening began when Timberlake allegedly ran a stop sign. Sag Harbor police noticed his bloodshot eyes, smell of booze, slurred speech and unsteady gait. His mishap behind the wheel morphed into a pop culture sensation.
Justin Timberlake was in legal trouble after failing to take a breathalyzer test. He was charged with drinking and driving, running a stop sign and failing to keep in his lane. Despite this, he was allowed to leave on his own after being processed.
While on tour for his “Everything I Thought It Was” album, Timberlake brought up the incident with humor at his shows. In Chicago, he thanked fans for supporting him through a difficult week. In Boston, he jokingly asked if anyone was driving before saying he was joking.
Although the charges were serious, Timberlake's response and his photograph that became popular art show his ability to find humor during difficult times. His experience combines celebrity, art and public issues. The artwork reflects his recent struggles while highlighting an ongoing story in his career.
