L’art pour la vie
15.12.2019
Pop art and playing a contemporary culture, across a wide range, have always been the focus of my interests. That is why I chose Andy Warhol and his creative work as a thesis topic. In my performance, Elvis Presley's character was replaced by Andrew Milosevic. My icons, please.
If my childhood wish to live like Alexis dana one day, then my house would look like an art gallery. I already know whose works would occupy all those walls and salons: Dina Broadhurst, Cecile Plaisance and Richard Orlinski, and the stars themselves.
The phenomenal collages of the beautiful Australian kept my eyes on one page of ELLE, it's been a couple of years ... It was love at first sight. Large format prints contain a combination of fashion house advertising campaigns, nature details, accessories ... Glamor in your bold & statement edition. Whoever cut the thumbnails from fashion magazines will surely find artmats in it. Another big plus goes to pretty Dina because she breaks down those stereotypes that artists have to be smeared with paint, dressed in squishy clothes, with strange details on their heads ... No, she's beautiful, works both as a model and a photographer, in great shape and often posts snapshots and photos of her travels, family reunions ... Of course we made friends on instagram.
I "met" Cecile Plaisance at one of my favorite galleries in Paris, Marciano Contemporary. Of the exhibited pieces, I kept most in front of portraits of Mick Jagger, Brigitte Bardot and Barbie - but in the form of a puzzle. Below was Cecile's signature. In addition to this form, she often experiments with short videos - Barbie, as her favorite motif and icon of pop culture, often by some miracle loses her dress and then conceals her nakedness with a Vogue cover or Chanel bag. Her art is fun, provocative; looks like a game, it's witty, fun, cool & chic.
If my dream came true from the beginning of the story, then lions, panthers, and gorillas would walk in my backyard in all their splendor - polished, glittering in screaming colors. Because that's Richard Orlinsky's art.
The versatile artist himself is an icon of contemporary art, for his motives he most often chooses animals and makes them from industrial materials, metal alloys, adds Swarovski crystals. The monumental dimensions and Born Wild concept make them perfect for beautifying open spaces, especially mountain peaks (and mundane ski resorts). He often collaborates with other artists and companies, so much of his set-up is also about Disney's heroes. It's fascinating how the power of life can be embodied with geometric shapes and shiny, smooth surfaces and not lose anything of their vibrancy.
So, my favorite from Dostoyevsky might sound like this: "Art will save the world." Mine will, for sure.
