Art Interiors

Artworks Henri Matisse

The chronological endeavour begins with Monsieur Matisse who presents kitchen interiors with floral tablecloth, cats and distorted piranha aquaria. But who does live here? A lady, a gentleman? Where does the physical room (with furniture as subject) end, where does the background as wallpaper (decorative pattern) begin? What is sur-reality?

Post Paris XX

A false encyclopaedic guide to the menswear collections, presenting:
Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2013

1. Agostino Arrivabene Luci-Fero, 1997-2007
2. American Gigolo 1980
3. Prada Spring Spring/Summer 2008

From Italian Americana to Prada's floral fantasy collection, from 80s power dressing to religious nostalgia. The established icons of kitsch and overdosage. Bless those foes.

Till The World Ends

1. Gosha Rubchinskiy Fall/Winter 2012
2. Matt LeBlanc
3. Mariano Vivanco Dennis Manzoni in Alexander McQueen

Things and images I always wanted to share with you. Maybe it is time to look for new icons. Physically and graphically. Gosha Rubchinskiy could be the physical, faux tattoo the graphical one.
