  • i'm not an exactly an expert on him but he (and the wider De Stijl gang) were interested in non-representational art, i.e. paint on canvas blah blah blah...

    My point is that such loaded (intellectually and historically) fine art can't just be transferred willy nilly to skin and still be expected to make sense. if you just like the pattern then fair enough, but in that case why directly reference a whole intellectual movement (for want of a better word)? i think decorative arts and illustration work well, like escher for example. Such standards of modern art as Mondrian, by their ubiquity, are removed from the thought that created them. That's why things like that Look logo are a bit gash (again, in my opinion).

    I should mention that I reckon Hassan's gothic architectural piece on his arm is brilliant.

    thanks! only problem is that the artist is in rhode island, so booking time with him tends to be a drawn out affair...
