Art Attack
In today's art world, where investing in old masters can lead to ruin, is it any wonder that a French street artist would have a series of solo shows -- and be represented by a gallery besides?
ZEVS is known, among other things, for his billboard "bombings," in which he targets commercial images with a spray can and lets the paint drip where it may. A recent series, "Liquidated Logos," takes the graffiti concept one step further, matching the paint to the original trademarks and allowing it to run:
As Kultureflash inquired during a recent London exhibition, "Vandalism or art? Activism or commercialism? You decide."
One thing's for sure: The employees of Chanel -- and Nike, and Apple, and McDonald's -- assigned to clean up after ZEVS have quite a bit of work ahead of them. As does his legal counsel, for that matter.
P.S. Check out Sergio Rossi's spring collection for the perfect pump to wear to a ZEVS exhibit:
