Should i care that the guy I'm seeing put his ex-gf's art up in his new apartment? They broke up in Feb.

Is it nice artwork?

It is hard to be reminded of a s/o's ex. I would tell him that every time you see it you think of her and what they did together. That you don't want to remember a time when you weren't with him. Tell him your personal reasons for why it makes you uncomfortable. Do you compare yourself with her? Do you wonder that maybe she was better at something like pleasing him and you don't want to go to that comparison mode because it kills your self esteem.

Ask him if he would you be offended if you asked him to take it down and why?

I made this scrapbook for my friend and her boyfriend. Then they broke up. I put so much time and effort into that gift. I asked her if she would keep it as a memory. But she said she didn't want to be reminded of that past as it was a bad break up. I understood, but I was a little hurt because of how much time, effort and money I put into that gift. But I would rather my friend be happy then have something that reminds her of something painful.

Maybe your man would understand it causes you emotional pain to see it and he would take it down because he never wants you to be in pain. But some men don't really understand females and their emotions to things.

If you want to be upset, you should dwell on it. In reality, he may like the art and/or he doesn't have much artwork to hang. But if you try hard enough, you can justify anger and use it to start a big fight which would stress both of you and your neighbors who have to listen.
