Erik Madigan Heck x Mary Katrantzou

Decadence in setting echoes Katranzou's mildly ridiculous and almost, well, bad, elaborate digital prints. Photographer Madigan Heck captures the self referential nature of the repeated print in interiors and attire. Fine art traditions; the modern European aristocratic subject, still life florals, silk road graphics, colour blocking, Pointillism, oil paints, wallpapers, abstraction, photoshop filters? women in repose and women in movement, Dutch portraiture.
