Nick Cave info here
Mad, humorous, elaborate, grotesque, glamorous and unexpected! Nicks wearable sculptures are larger and louder than life!
I have been meaning to post a piece on this guy for ages... Nick Cave is a multi discipline artist who lives and works in the States. He uses a mixture of natural materials, junk and amazing fabrics to create super surreal outfits that come alive with movement... A riot of colour and sound slaps you in the face and can only leave a huge smile. See his work HERE
In Nicks own words:
"Soundsuits are physical manifestations of my energy" - "I believe that the familiar must move towards the fantastic" - I want to evoke feelings that are unnamed, that aren't realised except in dreams"
40 soundsuits by artist Nick Cave are on display at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in "Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth" through July 5 2009.
