There is
nothing better when a man finds all of your loves and puts them all in one
package for you to admire.
No I haven’t
been swept off my feet, whisked to an island providing endless champagne and
fashion but I have found Maximilian Wiedemann.
I have personally been a fan of Max Wiedemann since my visit to London
in 2005 when I walking through Notting Hill and came across his spray on canvas
Vogue piece in a small gallery. At the
time I has not developed my shopping tastes to art, but as the years go on and
I begin my own collection I can’t help but revert back to the works of
Maximilian Wiedemann and kick myself for
not buying it when I saw it!
Maximilian Wiedemann
uses a spray on canvas (graffiti) approach, mixing pop culture, media and
fashion. His sense of humour, visible
through the quotes on his works, is compelling.
The phrases include ‘Closer to god in heels’; ‘The better you look, the
more you see’; ‘Love me or leave me alone’; all are set for individual
interpretation and accompanied with the image provided to us by the artist, you
can ponder the words and works for hours.
The love of
Louboutin, champagne, fashion and art are the elements that draw me to the
works of Maximilian Wiedemann. The exhibition WELL HUNG – a collaboration of
Weideman and Sheilds (Tyler Shields – previously blogged about and a favourite
of mine in the photography world) was without a doubt a highlight of the calendar
in 2011, held at the Imitate Modern, London.
I leave you
with a few of my favourite pieces by Maximilian Wiedemann – I hope you like as
much as I do.
