Jonathan Horowitz - 304.8cm paintings

Guess who's back. Back again.

Whoops. My mistake, wrong celeb.

I could make more pertinent lyrical references but I'll leave that to your own creative little minds.

Snap back to reality (there I go again) and this pop-cultured piece belongs to native New Yorker and contemporary media artist Jonathan Horowitz.
Just as Marilyn was to Warhol well over sixty years ago; Beyonce has found herself ascending to a similar height of diptych fame. 

Part of the 304.8cm instillation currently on exhibition at what is fast becoming one of my favourite London haunts - the Sadie Coles HQ gallery; snake your way into the main gallery and you too can bow down to a multitude of Bey's 10ft face.

Then again, nothing beats my first trip to the Sadie HQ. A room filled with animated body parts courtesy of Angus Fairhurst, dating from 1995 - 2001, respectivly.

Little left to the imagination..

Thakoon Panichgul Resort 2015

The dilettante population of London are experiencing something of a 'Matisse binge' at the moment and I am heedless to say that yes... me included.

The artisan bug has sunk its urbane teeth so far into my amateur behind that it's becoming unrecognisable.

An evening of voluntary seclusion (1 month and every surrounding tourist becomes nothing a but simple hum in the background) spent ogling over Henri's greats? Yes please.

And then, what's a feast for the eyes if you can't treat your wardrobe to the same goodies?

With an already dendritic infatuation to design, as well as penchant for cutting out clean lines and an altogether feel for weightlessness; Thakoon Panichgul's Resort 2015 collection dexterously covers references to the former French artiste, specifically towards Matisse's most notable works - cutouts.

Evidenced as anything but overt throughout Panichgul's use of movement and Pantone adoption; the artistic aesthetic continues to transpire in the 'beatnik striped' two piece and craft-club knife pleats. Overall, the collection is a sure, subtle but ingenious nod to artisanship and feminine simplicity. 

Although when you've got cruise collection taste and stay-at-home money; trips to the Tate's gift shop for a quick fix will for now, have to suffice.
