Christopher Lee Sauvé is a creative director, designer, and artist specializing in fashion - He has been turning fashion and celebrity icons into witty pop art for several years. His print SAVE ANNA became an overnight success after rumors of Anna Wintour leaving Vogue surfaced. His prints have become controversial collector's items after being embraced by the New York Times, Huffington Post, New York Magazine, Vogue, Elle, Glamour, Paper Magazine, and Perez Hilton. Sauvé says his focus is to fuse commercial art into the fashion world, much like Andy Warhol blended commercial art with the art world. His greatest inspirations are street art, punk shows, and of course pop culture. Nothing Looks As Good As Pop Feels.
Scooter Laforge’s work can be characterized as Pop Art partnered with abstract expressionism and Dutch classicism. His paintings and drawings are portraitures, landscapes, and objective subject matter, utilizing his special painting techniques. Golden books on acid, his paintings employ a 50’s illustrated story book technique, modernized by 70’s color pallets and are influenced heavily by gay pornography, cute fluffy animals, and sometimes iconic cartoons (i.e. SpongeBob Square pants, The Cookie Monster, and Popeye and Boris) which are reoccurring characters and themes within his work. His sculptures are a derivative of his successful clothing, t-shirt and underwear line, sold exclusively at Patricia Field, East Village, NYC and collected by the likes of Iggy Pop, Sandra Bernhard and Perez Hilton . His sculptures are self imagined 6-foot tall “T-Shirt Monsters,” that are hand tooled from the exact t-shirts that he makes for sale and are a permanent instillation at Barney’s New York Flagship store.
