more pierre le-tan
still can’t find much about the man on the net. but tells a bit more about his universe thought. something of a medley including a portrait of shy french writer patrick modiano, a not so shy new york skyline, some wildford manor pages and views of the studio by mister terestchenko. what else? by pp.
geoff mcfetridge – recent work
ok, that show is already over for quite a long time now but anyway, loved mister mcfetridge’s work and even if the wild things are things were not my cup of tea, the followings are.
this show took place at the great half gallery ( which is unfortunately a bit chaotic in it’s opening hours…) just mist it, too bad… by pp.

pierre le-tan / ivan terestchenko – objets trouvés
while zoning on my favorite blogs i naturally ended on the great one from the non the less great photographer ivan terestchenko. there was this post about illustrator pierre le-tan. since i grew up in paris, his illustrations were all around. i decided to post some of them but was really disappointed about what i found on the net (and i’m not talking about the dumb sun-tanning google ads when you hit pierre le-tan…). what is nice is the fact that i found an amazing website called designers books. they features pics of rare and out of print books… out those was “objets trouvés” which is a collaboration between the illustrator and the photographer mentioned above. never been able to check the inside before and as one can think when those two are involved, it’s great! by pp.

matthew heller – poems
every memory i have of you, blink blink nothing, heartbeat, i can finally see your face, your eyes are my sunrise. love matthew heller! by pp.
mike mills – fireworks
always loved mike mills work. i, sometimes, don’t dig the over simplicity or his work but it might be a matter of generation. no matter of generation here, just love it!

david hockney – fresh flowers
“hockney began painting flowers in bed just after buying his first iphone in 2009. rendering the simple one- or two-stem arrangements placed in a glass for him each morning by his boyfriend, chef john fitzherbert, the artist experimented with the iphone painting app, its variety of brush techniques, colors, and line densities.
twenty of his closest friends began receiving e-mails with iphone-painted flowers attached, including curator and cultural historian charlie scheips, who immediately saw the potential for an exhibit, especially when the number of hockney iphone-painted flowers (and later, ipad-painted flowers) grew to over 600: “this is a serious component of work, in the context of david’s five-decade career,” says scheips, who curated the show. “these flowers are ‘fresh’ in how new they are, how they’ve been sent, how they’re viewed, and the way they generate light.”
now on view in paris at the pierre berge and yves saint laurent foundation. by pp.+ v
