Permanent Crime

Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2010 (ruined by a permanent marker)

I love my vintage-new Dries shirt. Olive green with thin black outlines, seemingly hand-drawn onto the seam's edges. Painfully, someone took this aesthetic approach literally today. And accidentally ruined it with a permanent marker.

Naturgewalten

1. Keith Sonnier
2. Yves Tanguy

Before we get physical again. Figurative abstraction. Something that looks like a beach. Or a writing in the sky. Two bodies (of work) completing each other. What would be the correspondent runway look?

Hunk Arena II

Top Yuanyi Jeff Lee
Bottom Louise Goldin Fall/Winter 2008

It appears the wrestling suit deserves a sequel. And obviously has the potential to become a continuous series. So feel invited to submit your high fashion bodysuit discoveries. Shiny, sheer or anything else you like.

Complication & Abstraction

Artworks Joan Miró

Chaos and its antithesis. A few and a million strokes. Either I am confused. Or enlighted. But I am slowly finding access to the genius of waiting room art. What reminds me to book a dentist appointment.

Early Works

Artworks Richard Kilroy

What I admire most about Richard Kilroy's work is not the photo-realistic simulation of strands of hair, light and shadow. Instead it is the instinctive, gestural drawing that is capable of presenting the essence of an appearance.

Voyeurism 1956

Artworks Andy Warhol

Comparatively little attention has been paid to Andy Warhol's minute drawings. Pure portraits with a great sense for reduction. No need for pop colour schemes and endless repetition. Just the beauty of simplicity.

Three Drawings

Artworks Unknown, Jean Cocteau, Theo Firmo

Thin lines creating three-dimensionality. Implicating interactions of the male body and investigating on their physique. Reduced to a minimum of means while simultaneously creating layered meaning.
