Marios Schwab AW 15/16 #LFW

MARIOS SCHWAB AW15

‘Francis Bacon was one of the iconic figures of modern art, a painter who transformed the way we see and experience the body.’ – Jonathan Littel. In a reinterpretation of study, Marios Schwab explores the fragile orchestration of form with intimacy and depth.
Making a transition from canvas to cloth, a palette derives from the 1944 Triptych – Bacon’s self-proclaimed inaugural work influenced by the Vel ázquez ‘Rokeby Venus’.

Crimson red, fumo di londra and luminous flesh find delicacy in double satin and silk chiffon. Black mousseline and layered organza billow in sombre romance, shaping farthingale skirts of Las Meninas.
The instinctive fluidity of a 70’s silhouette is cut to the bias draping muscular form. Attuned by a dissecting harness secluded at the core, alchemized objects plated in 18-carat gold realize a cabinet of natural curiosities.
Mapping the anatomies complex articulation, filigree buttons and pearls tenderly trace the skeletal frame. Fractured glass binds to the sternum, and layered gazar reveals a cultivation of coral, rooted in vascular mimesis.
