Art To Wear

Sylvie Fleury

2018

In "Eye Shadows", Fleury's use of form, structure, and colour reflects rules and principles used in Minimalism and Pop Art movement while turning the make-up compact into an iconographic and cultural motif. The Swiss artist offers the wearer the possibility to play with a palette of interchangeable eyeshadows. The wearer is then invited to elect the colour that will reveal his outfit as if he chose the eyeshadow that will intensify his blue, green or hazel eyes. To recall the texture and glittering of Fleury's oversized make-up compacts', we dress the “Eye Shadows” black buckle with hand-lacquered discs made out of pigments and metallic flakes. An approach that has a lot of similarities with car paint in terms of how it can be matte or shiny and that echoes Fleury's artistic sensibility.

Artist portrait

Sylvie Fleury was born in Geneva (Switzerland) in 1961 and still works there. Broken makeup boxes, gigantic lipsticks, shopping bags turned into sculptures, Mondrian paintings made of fake fur… Since the 90’s Sylvie Fleury has used luxury goods to criticize the mechanisms of our consumerist society, art and fashion. With her various works of all kinds, she tackles very different questions from merchandising to gender, and violence to contemporary mysticism.
