Art To Wear

Vik Muniz

2022

Vik Muniz is famous for recreating art masterpieces using unconventional materials such as chocolate, ashes, diamonds or clay, Muniz creates to question our reality. In his reinterpretations of Caravaggio, Klimt or Warhol, the graphical depictions seem almost like they happened by accident. In contrast, his recent work focuses on rather abstract illusions. By using collages and new materials, the viewer's perception becomes central to the artworks. Inspired by this vision and his collection called ‘Epistemes’, Muniz takes over a new media to create Trous. Muniz’s work always seeks to unveil the viewer's curiosity. When we contemplate his creations from afar, they may appear as even surfaces. But as we get closer, we begin to decipher details, detect irregularities, noticing depth or height. Our perception is questioned and what we once thought is challenged.
