Fashion & Art Collide with Rachel Perry Welty!

There's not much of a better art & fashion mix I could feature than the art of Rachel Perry Welty. Showing through July 6, 2012 at Yancy Richardson Gallery in Chelsea.  In this new series, shot for VOGUE, Welty all but disappears into pattern, fabric and color, delving into consumerism - and almost being swallowed whole by it!

These amazing works of art were viewed and analyzed by both art and fashion lovers who walked away highly inspired.  A few women were design students at Parsons and spoke of how they cut class and simply could not miss this show - with good reason!  

I love taking photos of those looking at art especially when they resemble in the art in some way. Thus, this photo.  Sneaking up on people is fun!  But seriously, notice how she does "fit in?" 

A look at the large framed pieces....

The show is part of a group series in Richardson's Project Gallery Space, part of The Party's Over show. Photos and features on that event coming up!

Art & Fashion Mix from Rachel Perry Welty & Cecelia Paredes, You're Eyes Are Not Deceiving You!

New Art / Fashion Mix right here:  Today's post highlights two of my new favorite artists; Rachel Perry Welty & Cecelia Paredes.   You'll see the similarities, I almost thought they were the same artist at first a while ago, similar to the embroidery / photography posts I did last month.  First up, Rachel Perry Welty who will be showing at Yancy Richardson Gallery, May 24 - July 6, 2012 (opening reception that I can't wait for on Thursday, May 24, 2012 / 535. W22nd, 3rd Floor), I believe this is a "Vogue prints series"  more info on the artist at  www.yancyrichardson.com.

Now for Cecelia Paredes.....see what I mean?!  However hers are acid free photograph prints. All the info on Cecelia Paredes can be found at http://dlfinearts.com/ - which is located in Miami, but the gallery was represented at PULSE and all the art fairs.  I've been fond of this gallery and her selections for a while. You will too as you follow Ms. Paredes, I love these. Fashion, style / art - my kind of mix!  Look close to see all the details....
