WEARABLE ART.... LITERALLY
It is not the first time that Gelatin has referenced Leonardo Da Vinci’s iconic Mona Lisa. The ongoing series, first exhibited in 2008 at the Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, pays homage to the most famous painting in the world. Gelatin’s interpretations of the iconic lady, created from plasticine, play with the viewer’s imagination and explore the concept of the cultural icon, questioning its all-encompassing power over human memory and perception. Ultimately, even the Austrian Post presented one of the many unusual Gelatin interpretations of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa on a special stamp.
