Realty big painted penises in ex’s apt.: DA

A realestate honcho and amateur painter — furious his thengirlfr­iend was dating someone else — allegedly slipped into her Tribeca apartment and drew penises on his artwork, sources said Monday.

Sean Ludwick, 41, managing partner at Manhattanb­ased Black House Developmen­t, also allegedly knifed the words “Studio Art” onto two stools and splashed a bucket of paint on the floor at the home of Lana Trevisan, 40, in a drunken rage on Feb. 17.

“I became unhappy when I found out she was having an affair,” he told The Post before his appearance Monday in Manhattan Criminal Court. “I augmented my work to reflect my emotions at that moment.”

Ludwick used his own key to enter Trevisan’s apartment at around 11:30 p.m. and painted yellow images “in the shape of penises” on his artwork, a Criminal Court complaint says.

Trevisan, corporate director of food and beverage at the Gansevoort Hotel Group, was out at the time.

“It’s all my artwork,” Ludwick said. “I’m an amateur artist, and they’re displayed in my place. I just wanted to update the pieces.”

Ludwick also used Trevisan’s computer to email lewd messages to execs at her company, claiming she “has engaged in relationsh­ips with married men, including her current supervisor,” the complaint says.

The next day, he sent an email to her bosses accusing her of being a “harlot” who broke up four marriages, the complaint says.

He later allegedly texted Trevisan a lame apology.

“Sorry about the paint, I was a little drunk this weekend,” it read, according to the complaint.

Ludwick was arrested last Wednesday and charged with computer trespassin­g, aggravated harassment, criminal mischief, stalking and impersonat­ion.

“It’s hard to believe he was arrested for a felony based on these limp allegation­s,” said defense lawyer Daniel Ollen.

Trevisan could not be reached for comment.

Ludwick, of Sutton Place, had moved out of the Tribeca pad after learning Trevisan was having an affair, lawenforce­ment sources said. The two had apparently shacked up after Ludwick left his wife and two kids, the source said.

“I’m done with this. I’m moving on,” Ludwick said Monday of the relationsh­ip.
