Since dating Kanye West, Kim Kardashian has become more and more ensconced in the art world.


The couple have recently been striking up new friendships with several different world renown artists, including Jeff Koons, and earlier this month they attended Art Basel in Miami, Florida.


On Thursday during a shopping trip in Woodland Hills, the 33-year-old proudly showed off her Christmas gift from her rapper fiance - a tan Hermes leather handbag customised with a nude painting by famous contemporary artist, George Condo.

The design features several eerie nude female figures and a bare-chested monster, and has been directly painted on the front of the expensive leather good.


Kanye and Condo have known each other for several years after the rapper contacted the New York-based painter in 2010 asking him to create a series of paintings for his fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.


Condo has been prominent in the art world for over three decades, heralded as being instrumental in the international revival of painting from the 1980s onward.

His work has been exhibited all over the world, and is currently on view in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.


Kim's bag took centre stage as she stepped out in an ensemble of whites and creams.


The mother-of-one put her curves on display in a pair of white tight trousers and a Henley top unbuttoned to show off her cleavage.


The reality star kept warm in one of her favourite cashmere coats in a cream and her tan stilettos matched her new handbag.


Meanwhile, Kanye went casual in a pair of light denim jeans tucked into his favourite Timberland boots and a grey sweater worn underneath a green padded parker.


The notoriously hot-headed star was certainly in a festive mood for once, grinning from ear-to-ear as he left the store with his bride-to-be.


The 36-year-old showed that chivalry is certainly not dead by carrying all of the shopping bags while Kim concentrated on toting her new piece of art.


The pair appear to be heading somewhere cold and snowy for they stopped by Sports Ltd, a Ski and Snowboard shop where they stocked up on several items.
