Multi-Platinum, genre-bending artist Halsey presents five paintings that she created while on her Love and Power Tour. The original paintings were created by Halsey live each night as she performed for thousands of fans, as we saw her do when she hosted and performed on Saturday Night Live. Each of the five paintings were created during their shows on 5.21 in Gulf Shores, AL, 5.24 in Nashville, TN, 5.27 in Detroit, MI, 6.1 in Boston, MA, and 6.18 in Portland, OR. All proceeds from the sales will be donated to the National Network of Abortion Funds (abortionfunds.org).

 

The Love and Power Tour will wrap in Irvine, CA and has included sold-out shows in Los Angeles and Toronto, as well as a headlining spot at Governors Ball in New York City. The tour was in support of Halsey’s critically acclaimed GRAMMY nominated album, If I Can’t Have Love, I want Power.

 

Halsey has amassed more than 31 billion combined global streams to date, including more than 12.5 billion U.S. streams, and sold nearly 17 million adjusted album units worldwide.

 

Their most recent album, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Current Album Sales and Top Alternative Albums charts in 2021. It follows 2020’s Manic, which also entered the Top Current Album Sales chart at No. 1. Manic was the first album of 2020 to be certified Platinum in the U.S. and is now 2x Platinum. 2017’s hopeless fountain kingdom was recently certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA.

 

Halsey continues to push creative boundaries, exerting an influence and impact beyond music. Her first book, I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection of Poetry, debuted on The New York Times Best Sellers list in 2020. Named as one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People of 2020, they have won over 20 awards, including an AMA, MTV VMA, GLAAD Award, the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s Hal David Starlight Award and a CMT Music Award. Halsey recently introduced about-face, a multi-dimensional makeup line for made for everyone. Halsey continues to speak up for important causes such as disenfranchised youth, women’s rights, mental health and the LGBTQ community.
