About the Item
Léo Dorfner offers a punk reading that disturbs interpretations that are too pious.
His reappropriation of media representations, advertising icons, snippets of everyday life and visual memes creates a rock mythology of the contemporary that is as incredulous as it is undisciplined. Borrowing and quoting, ordering and tagging, he shapes fragmented, often absurd and anachronistic narratives, in which PJ Harvey comments: "Art history, Greek statues opine on social debates and magazine pin-ups proudly display their tattoos".
With a real critical potential, his movements never sacrifice the aesthetic interest of the drawing. In spite of the impertinence of his themes, his work has an undeniable poetic dimension based on a taste for graphic experimentation and care for composition, at the heart of a plastic play between the texture of the paper, the quality of the line, the nuance of the colours and the possible use of colour, the nuances of the colours and the possible legends that illustrate them. The urban stories he invites us into reveal the impertinence of his vision and the capacity of superimposed images to make sense, against all logic.

- Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), Mixed media on grey parchmentBy Howard TangyeLocated in London, GBHoward Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), 2012 Mixed media on grey...Category
