Bruno David Gallery: Friday, 1 February 2013

TUAN LEE "Grazia"

Opening Night, Friday, February 1, 2013 from 5 to 9 pm
Exhibition on view February 1-23, 2013

Bruno David Gallery is pleased to present in the Project Room, an exhibition titled "Grazia" by Tuan Lee. In what is believed the first fashion magazine, La Derniere Mode from the 1870's, we find a manifesto for fashion: "To teach beauty in everyday things is our concern, or a part of it, but even more a putting-to-use in the cause of delicate enjoyment of artists' visions." Art and fashion exist in separate constructed categories. Art, on the one hand, typically involves something valued as a lasting object. Fashion, on the other hand is ephemeral with an accelerated turnover of style. Tuan Lee's current work focuses on merging these two forms of expression. His work shows that art may at times resemble fashion and fashion may look like art.
