ANNICK CUADRADO - Coca Cola Tribute (Medium format)

2020

Annick b. Cuadrado, a French artist, born and working in Paris, introduces in her works of art the most famous products of our consumer life. She has convinced the owners of the most famous brands and logos in the world of her original and creative approach to such brands. A difficult task knowing the legal means of such owners to protect their brands. Annick b. Cuadrado enjoys interpreting and diverting, with elegance, vigor and humor, the well-known candies, soft drinks, washing powders. The image and memory of these products and brands is an actual appeal to our taste buds : Coca-Cola, Hollywood chewing-gum, Tagada strawberries, Car en Sac, Marshmallows, Haribo Dragibus, Carambar, Malabar, Krema candies, Danone etc… Acrylic painting on canvas or plexiglas, paintings, collages or forms : Annick b. Cuadrado re-discovers our weaknesses in big formats. The multiplication and repetition of the various themes interpreted by the artist (Vache qui Rit, Cachou Lajaunie, Coca-Cola), echo our child’s remembrances. « I love the shelves of the hypermarkets with all their cans, boxes and packaging of all kinds of colors and transparencies, which speak, better than words, to the memory of our childhood » says Annick b. Cuadrado. Her pictorial approach, very entertaining and « rock and roll », smells the rolls and sticks of candies and liquorice. It sounds like a song of Souchon and reminds the best of pop-art, new realism...

ABOUT THE ARTIST Internationally recognized photographer, Giuliano Bekor, holds a portfolio that includes work from the realms of fashion, beauty, celebrity, advertising, and fine art. Giuliano’s photography has been featured in top publications around the globe, and his client list includes an endless file of beauty industry leaders, advertising agencies, celebrities, producers, and artists. With 30 years in the industry, Giuliano has perfected his craft to an exceptional level of expertise. Composed of light, color, space and form, Giuliano brings ideas conceptualized in his own imagination into reality throughout his work. Currently living between New York and Los Angeles, Giuliano is often on the move traveling for work and inspiration. Always the restless visionary, he ceases to continually express his fresh and nuanced style. For Giuliano Bekor, a photograph is an image that comes into being consciously, composed of light, color, space and form. Like a painter, he sketches, refining ideas through pen and pencil well before the shutter clicks. A camera is strictly a means to an end, a way of making a palpable visual record of an idea that gestates in his mind, gains shape by his hand, and resolves through his eye as it peers through the lens. His subject is the human body, almost always nude. These images delve into the splendor of the body - how it can express the inner meaning of who we are. Limbs, torsos, muscles and bones are exposed as though carved out of a supple, glowing stone that flexes and twists. Many of these photographs feature subjects posed with the eyes obscured, the face covered. If we look closely, Bekor says, we can see that the body is as much a window into the soul as the eyes. This is a gallery of the soul etched into the forms we assume in the physical world. Through exaggerated contrast between light and dark, smooth and textured, vaporous and tactile, Giuliano deliberately filters the extraneous. The camera captures the image, but for Bekor each exposure is a transformation - of himself, his subjects, and us. He is digging into uneasy turf, fraught with tension: masculine/feminine, heroic/cowardly, shameless/shameful, eternal/fleeting. The intensity of detail, the fiercely exquisite perfection of the bodies themselves, the unflinching, scrupulous engagement of the lens, negates all pretense of politeness. Confronted, we are summoned to look. So we must. And we do. And we experience the beautiful human forms we inhabit and the silent, eloquent language they speak.
