Soul II Soul x Christophert Nemeth

Fashion often has a deep connection with music, like Vivienne Westwood and Sex pistols or Kansai Yamamoto and David Bowie. One of our store's favorite brands, Christopher Nemeth also has a little-know connection with music. In the music video of Soul II Soul's hit song "Back to Life", look carefully at what the members were wearing! Jazzie B, one of the original members from 1988, told i-D Magazine that he was "a fan of Christopher Nemeth".

from Youtube
For AW 2015 Louis Vuitton Men's RTW collection, where Kim Jones was inspired by Christopher Nemeth's designs, the runway soundtrack was made by a legendary music producer from Soul II Soul, Nellee Hooper. Moreover, his close friend and an accessory designer Judy Blame made jewelries for this collection.However, We wondered where John Moore shoes were?

The Little Prince

“What is essential is invisible to the eyes”, says the fox.
                                    ~The Little Prince~


Thank you very much for shopping at About Glamour. You might have heard of the story called “The Little Prince” which is my recommended book. The author, Antoine de saint-Exupery was a pilot himself and he passed away from the flight accident in 1944. After reading the book, I felt little a bit sad because I identified him with the little prince. On the last two pages of the book, a simple drawing of the desert and the star is written. On the following page, it stated, “This is the little price appeared on the Earth, then disappeared.” Antoine disappeared like the little price did. But I really enjoyed reading this book because I was able to come back to my childhood in my imagination. I could tell that the author was like a child in a good way and saw the world with kid’s eyes; He was probably the little prince himself. I was like the little prince when I was a kid. For example, when I was playing a jungle gym at my elementary school, I imagined the ground was made up of magma, so I would die if I fell down… However, as a grown-up, my imagination is sometimes easily lost. In the story, a friend of the little prince, the fox gives him an advice, “Here is my secret. It’s quite simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.” This is a secret that I also won’t have to forget. 

AG Gallery "MIOTSUKUSHI", Interview with Aya Kaneda

AyaKakeda_DM_Front_Blog.jpg

Miotsukushi  

AYA KANEDA  /  Exhibition On View: October 8 – November 12, 2016


Thank you very much for shopping at About Glamour and visiting AG Gallery.  If you haven't visited the exhibition, "Miotsukushi" yet, I highly recommend to visit there by November 12. Once you get there, you feel that you are in the completely different world. Her artworks and the imaginary creatures are welcome to everyone. This time, I would like to share the interview with Aya Kaneda who created wonderful artworks, "Miotsukushi". Please get informed about the show before you come to the exhibition. Here is the interview. Enjoy reading it! 

Q1-Please tell us a little bit about your background…

I was born and grew up in Tokyo, Japan. I moved to the United States when I was in my late teens; I lived in Florida, Georgia, and now live and work in Brooklyn, NY. 
My art education is in illustration, but while I was in school I started to be more interested in Fine Art.  Now I split my time being a illustrator, Fine artist, and educator. 

Q2-What was the first work of art that you saw or experienced that you still remember today?

My grandmother was a Japanese Tea ceremony teacher. And I grew up surrounded by tea ceremony tools, ceramics, seasonal flowers, and seasonal Japanese paintings that decorate around the tea ceremony rooms.Since they are for tea ceremony, the art or ceramic themselves are not necessary decorative or colorful; actually they were more in earthy tones had WabiSabi feelings to it, but they always had some twist or hidden playfulness to them which interested me.
Also, in every season Kimono maker would come to our house and show my grandmother rolls of fabrics.  I still remember the scene when the rolls of fabrics would fly through the air, filling the room, and for me it looked like a sea of patterns.  I think that image still sticks to my mind and till this day I love looking at patterns. My work also has a lot of patterns in it. 

Q3-Who were your earliest influencers of famous artists or creators?

As a child I was very much into monsters, ghosts, animals, and Folk stories.Kuniyoshi (Ukiyoe Master) has a huge influence on me. I discovered his playful Ukiyoe that depicts animals as human. It’s quite humorous. And his monsters are not always very scary; they are very silly and I loved that about his monster work. 
Also growing up in Japan I was more into non-traditional art like Manga and Animation.
I always liked  Shigeo Mizuki, Osamu Tezuka, and Fujiko Fujio A.
Their world is twisted, dark, and full of monsters, but also humorous.
I think that’s my favorite mixer; dark creature world but humorous. 

Q4-Please tell us about your work…

I like telling stories and creating my own whimsical world.  When I started out, I started by remembering my imaginary world that I had when I was little.  And now that world has been expanding over the years.  My world is mysterious and dark, sometimes with strange creatures but never serious; there is some sort of humor in it. I like the contrast of reality and imaginary, dark and light, cute and ugly, and that reflects in my art I think. 

Q5-What do you make?

Materials have been changing over the years also depending on the project. It varies from Printmaking, embroidery, painting, installation, now I’m very into making a ceramic sculptures. For this show it’s mostly paintings and ceramic sculptures. 

Q6-What generally inspires or influences you to create your work?

I get very excited to see craft and fabrics from different parts of the world. For that reason, traveling and getting to know the different culture has been a huge influence on me. Every time I go somewhere I get inspired and can’t wait to go back to studio and create.  Also I get influenced by reading, watching cinema, seeing performance, and so on. 
And having coffee talking to friends also inspires me, I am luckily surrounded by many creative minds!

Q7-What is the main challenge for you when creating your work?

I try to challenge myself by using new materials and I love the process of making things, but I often end up with “ugly s***” and not one, but many many “ugly s***” and that’s frustrating sometimes to not get the result I want.  But it’s also the part of art making I like as well, experimenting and exploring new things. 

 Q8-What are you currently working on?

I am currently working on a Ceramic series that I started this Summer. Part of them are exhibited at AG gallery right now!
I have been trying to combine the beautiful deep colors and textures of the ceramic glaze  and very artificial flat colors. My work usually has believable botanical backgrounds and mythical imaginary creatures, and I would like to push that in the material as well by mixing earth (clay and glaze that are made with minerals from earth) and artificial medium (plastic, resin, and house paint).

Q9-Is there anything that people might not know about your work (or your medium) that you would like to share?
Continuing from the precious question. My new work has a combination of ceramic/glaze and resin/house paint. 

Q10-What is your dream or goal as an artist in 3 years? 5 years?

Ceramic is still a new medium for me and I’m still learning about the medium and also how to show in the space. I would like to figure out how to mix my 2D works and sculpture also to create the whole complete world. So my future plan is to figure that out in the next year or so and make more art!  As a goal I would love to have a bigger body of work for exhibition. 

Lastly, Do  you have any message to visitors for this exhibition? What we should check out / should not miss in this exhibition?

The past few years have been a transition for me moving from 2D to 3D and also finding a way to incorporate both mediums. So maybe visitors would be able to feel the transition and the new direction and hopefully that’s interesting for them to see. 


Thank you so much for reading the interview with an amazing artist, Aya Kaneda.
We are looking forward to seeing you at AG gallery!


AG Gallery "The Strange Hearts Club" | Interview with Cat Rabbit


Last time we had a wonderful interview with the inspiring illustrator, comic author, and animation artist, Phillappa Rice. Thank you very much for those who read the interview. If you havent already, you can click HERE to jump to her interview but maybe after you read this post... because this time, we would like to share the interview with the unique textile artist, Cat Rabbit who is another artist of The Strange Hearts Club Exhibition. 


~Interview with CAT RABBIT~
The Strange Hearts Club
Cat Rabbit & Philippa Rice
Sep.15 - Oct. 4, 2016


Q1- Please tell us a little bit about your background...
I first started making little plush toys for friends when I was studying at university. My interest in textiles grew from there and I began experimenting with embroidery and 3D felt techniques. I am now a full time practicing textile artist, based in Melbourne, Australia. I make plush sculptural works of my imagined characters and the worlds they might live in. I also make books for Children and other fantastical artworks with my collaborator and good pal Isobel Knowles under the name Soft Stories.

Q2 -What was the first work of art that you saw or experienced that you still remember today?
I grew up in Tasmania, in a very small country town. Every week, my Mum used to take us to the Launceston Museum and I remember just staring for ages at the detailed dioramas of prehistoric animal habitats and dinosaur bones.

Q3 -Who were your earliest influencers of famous artists or creators?
Richard Scarry and Beatrix Potter have definitely been my longest serving inspirations! I have many old, battered copies of their books from my childhood that I refer back to over and over again. Their ability to create not only beautiful characters, but worlds for their characters to exist in, is something I strive for myself.

Q4 - Please tell us about your work... What do you make?
I make soft sculptures of my imagined characters using needle felt and 3D felting techniques.

Q5 -What generally inspires or influences you to create your work?
I like to devise new characters all the time! I get an idea in my head or sketch something out and am not satisfied until I work it up into a 3D character.

Q6 -What is the main challenge for you when creating your work? 
I like my work to engage a wide audience, so there are elements that appeal to young children and also an older generation. My main objective when creating new work for exhibition is to incite feelings of comfort, joy and nostalgia - when I make a piece that encapsulates all of these elements, I am satisfied with the work!

Q7 -What are you currently working on?
I am currently working on a series of food related characters: a Croissant pâtissière, a Dango delivery person and a Egg headed egg farmer - I am increasingly fascinated by absurd characters made up of inanimate objects, like food, and I'm enjoying experimenting with new and weird themes.

Q8 -What is your dream or goal as an artist in 3 years? 5 years?
I am addicted to sewing new things, so if I'm still able to do that, then I'll be happy ^_^

Lastly, Do you have any message to visitors for this exhibition? 
Please enjoy these new characters that Philippa and I have made as part of the Strange Hearts Club! Online dating is a new world of crazy possibility that really fascinates me, and I wanted to explore what my characters would look like if they were plunged in to this world!

-Please tell up what we should check out / should not miss in this exhibition. 
The Koala! I have wanted to make a koala for some time, and it's one of my favorite new creations (particularly the Rilakkuma phone case).

Thank you for reading the interview with the great artist, Cat Rabbit. 
We are waiting for you at AG Gallery!
