MARY & MATT

I like these, other thoughts are on their blog... www.maryandmatt.net

"Mary has been working on a series of striped shirt paintings for her friends at Chance. They are portraits of six creative women, capturing their individual spirit through the striped shirts they wear. [From top to Bottom: Maira Kalman, Lynn Wagenknecht, Julie Gilhart, Zoe Cassavetes, Alexandra Richards and Selima Salaun]
Prints are for sale [here] and the originals are for sale, too. Proceeds of the project will go to the Japan Society’s Earthquake Relief Fund. Stop by the Chance shop [211 Elizabeth Street, Thursday thru Sunday 12 to 7 pm.] to check ‘em out."

"The work has political connotations whilst allowing the viewer to decide whether the work is a critique of the fashion industry or pornography or something more celebratory. I would also hope that the viewer might see an element of humour in the work. A lot of images found in fashion magazines already have sexual undertones; I’m just making it more obvious." -inge
