Jealous curator talking about ART-A-PORTER

6 August 2015

Black Series in ART-A-PORTER

Guest Curation

by Jealous Curator

From collage, to painting, to mixed media - the work of Joe Webb, Monica Trastoy, J.D Doria, Niki Hare and Erin Case is very different, yet all of the individual pieces come together beautifully, creating one unified collection that is dreamy, modern, black and white - with just the perfect pop of vintage-inspired color. I chose these pieces because, well, each one is stunning on it’s own, but when brought together the combination of organic shapes and geometric lines was something I couldn’t resist - amazing on a gallery wall, and even more exciting when you can actually take this exhibition off of the wall, and wear it.
