Fashion Items
Through 28 May 2016 at Augen Gallery in Portland, Oregon. Eva Lake remembers a quote from an artist who used a jacket in one of her installations: “This is not about fashion or style,” she said. “This is about transformative power.” Those words really stuck with Lake, because she witnesses the transformational power of style and fashion on a daily basis. It is all the same thing to her. These new collages come out of that idea and are what she calls “Fashion Items”. MORE

This connection to political protest will be a point of interest in future works, whether on paper or canvas." MORE

Paris artist Itchi uses geometry, touches of colour, typography, and words, like so many modern exclamations, to place his subjects in suspended time, “Hang Time”. His look is decidedly soft, poetic and optimistic. His exhibition at Galerie La Lanterne in Paris, France wrapped up on Sunday. MORE
