The actor, who took up painting as a high school student, is displaying pieces in his new solo exhibition that he's has created over the past two years. The opening coincides with the annual movie event in the German capital. "Gay Town" delves into themes including adolescence, stereotypes and public and private personas, and features paintings, videos, drawings, sculpture and photography.
