[ART] LE TECHNIQUE

2016. Sewn binding. 22 x 14 cm. Limited edition 1 of 26. Signed on the colophon by the artist. Le Technique is a collection of satirical essays under the guise of being a cookbook. Picking the upturned nose of the highbrow, exploring new depths of lowbrow and generally making mischief to quite an aesthetic end. The title is a bastardized spin on the real cookbook La Technique, one from which you might actually learn to cook. The lessons instructed in Le are those of serious play, kooky schemes and the delightful diversions of a young artist in the comic throws of early onset misanthropy. Presented with style, wit and élan, elegantly laid out and bound by painstaking hand of the artist, Le Technique feels at the same time curiously nostalgic and fresh as a daisy that might just bitch slap you back. Wool felt, silver leaf, acrylic, acid free paper, grain of salt. Fine. Item #2940
