Kurt Cobain's Daughter Is A Very Talented Artist But Her Art Is Terrifying

One of the world's most famous tragically deceased musicians is surely Kurt Cobain. Even today, 30 years after the band Nirvana formed in Washington state, the music still manages to reach and even transform generations of youth. Kurt Cobain was also an insanely talented artist. According to research from scientists at the University of Helsinki, being creatively inclined may even be genetic. Therefore, it shouldn't surprise you that with two rock-star parents that Frances Bean Cobain is insanely talented herself. 

However, talented is not where the discussion ends. Frances Bean's artwork is actually quite terrifying. Though she has grown up mostly shrouded in mystery and away from much of the public eye (thankfully,) it's probably safe to assume that as an individual she has not been completely ignorant to the vast array of conspiracy theories surrounding her father, least of all the entire movie made asserting that her mother killed him. Even then, Frances was left to be raised by Courtney Love who struggled with substance abuse and crazy antics along the way. Which brings us to another point... addiction is also hereditary and Frances Bean has not been spared that tumultuous battle. In January of 2018, she opened up to Rolling Stone after posting on Instagram about being 2 years sober.

How better to cope with such chaos than with art? Clearly, she has a lot to say through her interesting, albeit horrifying, art.

I thought I would start this post by sharing a pure moment in Oahu surrounded by nature, with my love. This moment is a representation of who I am on February 13th, 2018. It feels significant here & now because it’s my 2nd sober birthday. It’s an interesting and kaleidoscopic decision to share my feelings about something so intimate in a public forum . The fact that I’m sober isn’t really public knowledge, decidedly and deliberately. But I think it’s more important to put aside my fear about being judged or misunderstood or typecast as one specific thing. I want to have the capacity to recognize & observe that my journey might be informative, even helpful to other people who are going through something similar or different. It is an everyday battle to be in attendance for all the painful, bazaar, uncomfortable, tragic, fucked up things that have ever happened or will ever happen. Self destruction, toxic consumption and deliverance from pain is a lot easier to adhere to. Undeniably, for myself and those around me choosing to be present is the best decision I have ever made. How we treat our bodies directly correlates to how we treat our souls. It’s all interconnected. It has to be. So I’m gonna take today to celebrate my vibrant health and the abundance of happiness, gratitude, awareness, compassion, strength, fear, loss, wisdom, and the myriad of other messy, raw emotions I feel constantly. They inform who I am, what my intentions are, who i want to be and they force me to acknowledge my boundaries/limitations. I claim my mistakes as my own because I believe them to be a contribution to a higher education. I am constantly evolving. The moment any evolution ceases is the moment I disservice myself and ultimately those I love. As cheesy and cornball as it sounds life does get better, if you want it to. I’ll never claim I know something other people don’t. I only know what works for me and seeking to escape my life no longer works for me. Peace, love, empathy (I’m going to reclaim this phrase and redefine it as something that’s filled with hope and goodness and health, because I want to ) Frances Bean Cobain
