Thirty Years Of Argentina Artist Juan Gatti

Artist Juan Gatti used his color art to design the tropical and romantic prints for the Kenzo2012 autumn and winter series.

After completing the agreement with KENZO 30 years ago, Juan Gatti's art retrospective exhibition in Buenos Aires has also been launched.

Everything seems to be back to the starting point.

For those who believe in fatalistic Latin American artists, such coincidence is undoubtedly chaotic but orderly.

62 years old

It is an artist who advocates color.

In 1979, the Buenos Aires born artist released a collection of collage art called "Hello Again" in New York.

This group of works has a very strong Latin American amorous feelings, rich and strange colors wrapped in vigorous vitality.

In one fell swoop, we won the recognition of art circles.

While Juan has a place in the art world, designer KENZO has launched an unprecedented "storm of Paris" in a fashion week with a exotic design and bold jungle prints.

"

The fashion world began to be well known.

The same style of design has made the two artists appreciate each other's works.

After a meeting, KENZO invited Juan Gatti to move from New York to Paris to design the printing pattern for Kenzo, which is the initial origin of Juan Gatti and Kenzo. Unfortunately, this cooperation failed.

On his way to Paris, Juan plans to stay in Madrid for Christmas with his friends.

There, Juan got the position of art director of CBS record company.

During his stay, he designed album covers for many Latin musicians.

After fame, he opened his own art studio in Madrid and designed the fashion brand for Loewe. At that time, Karl Lagerfeld, the chief designer of Chloe, was also one of the clients of Gatti.

In addition, Juan has been the artistic director of the Italy edition and the Spanish version of Vogue.

He has created countless eye-catching covers.

On the cover of the June 1990 edition of the Italy edition "Vogue", the supermodel Linda Evangelista was dressed up as a young Sophia Roland under his guidance, and her bare skin shone like silk in soft black and white tones.

The black and white portrait has a strong visual impact on the hot pink font on the cover.

With the success of his career, he agreed to cooperate with Kenzo.

In addition to its contributions in fashion, cooperation between Juan Gatti and the famous Spanish director Pedro Almodovar has also been plated into a good phrase.

For Juan, film is a more advanced form of art than fashion.

Almodovar's films with a surrealistic expression brought him a lot of inspiration.

In the poster of the matador and the return, Juan Gatti, with its usual style, uses bold bold fonts and bright colors to make plain life scenes more vivid.

And in the notice poster of my skin, he echoes the character and the various animals in order to perfect the story of elegance and strangely coexistence.

In the spring and summer advertisements of Kenzo2012, the three black models of Ajak Deng, Alek Wek and Nairoby Matos are wearing the series of Kenzo spring and summer, and the metal horizontal bars are placed in various powerful and powerful postures.

The colorful sports style and their metal - filled skin tone bloomed out of rough primal tension in front of the lens - the style of Juan Gatti.

Indeed, last year, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, appointed as creative director of Kenzo, invited Juan Gatti to be an art director.

Subsequently, in the 2012 autumn and winter clothing, Juan Gatti, who always loved animals and plants as the original creation, also designed some colorful tropical grapes and strawberries and parrots for Kenzo after referring to some nineteenth Century plant print fabrics.

This also makes Kenzo's autumn and winter series closer to the exotic style of the early stage of brand creation.

In the past 30 years, Juan Gatti has finally completed the agreement with Kenzo.
