Is there
fashion in art or is there art in fashion? Such is a question that has baffled
and been a great source of discussion and opinion for well over a century. With
their latest show, Lollipop, the LIFE Gallery and its director Nicolas Saint
Gregoire explore the notion via the featured works of Marc-Antoine
Coulon, Juano
Diaz, Sandro
Giordano, Ultra
Violet. Monsieur
Saint Gregoire was kind enough to answer some questions and so in his own
words:
 | |
| Marc Antoine Coulon |
 |
| Ultra Violet |
 |
| Sandro Giordano |
 |
| Juano Diaz |
Q-The simple question is “why this show?”
A- We wanted to have a vibrant and colorful exhibition and we made a
selection of artists whose work would be a good fit in a pop art show.
Q- Please give us and definition of the show’s title
A-Lollipop represents something fun, flavorful and usually full of colors,
which very much corresponds to the idea we have of a pop art themed exhibition.
Q- Is this your normal format and why this show?
A-We actually really like to do both group and solo shows, for different
reasons. Whereas solo exhibition allow us to emphasize on the work of just one
artist, group shows give us an opportunity to put different artistic visions in
perspective and create a dialogue between the artists.
So, if you want to join the conversation, you might
want to visit the LIFE Gallery in NYC during the run of the Lollipop show
(September3-12) and maybe you can solve the quandary of fashion and art.
P.S. There
is something about all this that brings to mind Ethel Scull. You might have to
google her.
