About the Item

Signed and dated. «We aim high to keep them down» was part of O. F. Hvidsten's first solo-exhibition «This will never pass». The works comprising the exhibition is first and foremost a visual memory of two dramatic years since 2020 that have affected us all. Covid, and its consequences, have become a common point of reference that we will all talk about and bear remembrance to for a long time. But our memories are like life itself; dynamic and in constant change, often weakening with time, and can either ebb out or be reinforced. O.F. Hvidstens work in this period stand out as an anchor point for this common experience. Ole Fredrik Hvidsten is a Norwegian artist working with both sculptures and paintings. His works have a distinct urban look and feel with a rough but delicate touch. O. F. Hvidsten's artistic expression draws inspiration from popular culture, video games, cartoons and nordic folklore, often illuminating intimate and human issues, or issues of a more sociopolitical nature.

"Mario SAFE my GUCCI ass" Mixed media Painting 37" x 48" in by John Paul Fauves

"Mario SAFE my GUCCI ass" Mixed media Painting 37" x 48" in by John Paul Fauves 2017 Mixed media, acrylic and oil on canvas 37" × 48" inch From GUCCI in Wonderland series GUCCI in Wonderland series contains two parts. First one, GUCCI in wonderland, is an inspiration that came to John Paul Fauves after doing a 10 piece collection of some Alessandro Michele art campaigns. There was so much magic realism in the GUCCI brand and concept that transcended from being a clothing label to something more surreal. It is here when the artist decides to give a hold to his new collection for 2018 named "holy exit" and dive into this new world of colors and wonders. ​ The second part, Alice in Wonderland, represents the artist a world of fantasy and dreams. It seems as if the author Lewis Caroll could write like a dream. The same concept of surrealism is what FAUVES feels about Gucci design and branding. It as if Gucci can design and create form the world of dreams, and this is what the artist wants to represent in his art GUCCI in wonderland. ​ ABOUT John Paul FAUVES: John Paul Fauves (born in 1980) is a contemporary Artist from Costa Rica . His artistic journey started at a very young age after he became a student of Joaquin Rodriguez del Paso , one of the most important Costa Rican modern art tutors. John Paul spent 15 years studying and mastering his technique, and only a few years ago he finally started showcasing his work. In his paintings he engages questions of identity as they relate to art history as well as our everyday interactions with mainstream culture and social media. Greatly inspired by modernist masters as wellas pop-artists, Fauves mixes fragments of different iconic images in vivid and colourful compositions. Of his experimental and high eclectic style, he says, “art is an expression from the soul, and the soul is somethinglimitless. This is why I am always searching for different elements to bring into the work.” 2019: ​ Alts Iz farloyrn, Los Angeles, CA Portraits of Someone, London ​ ​ 2018: ​ [ Mi / Me ] solo exhibition at DOPENESS ART LAB, Taipei, Taiwan Arte de La Peer Papi Chulo group exhibition, Krause gallery, NYC Down the Rabbit Hole group exhibition, Imitate London, London, UK ARCO Madrid Art Palm Beach, Miami ​ 2017: ​ Art Basel Miami PIXELS Pre-Basel group exhibition by JM Art Management at Laurent & Martin gallery LA Style Fashion week FACES, group exhibition by JM Art Management at HOMME gallery A Loss of Innocence, solo exhibition Guy Hepner...
