Soft cover. Etat : New. Silvia Prada (illustrateur). 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Gift Quality HAND NUMBERED, of 500 Limited Edition. Brand New, Issued in illustrated, white paper envelope. In collaboration with Tom of Finland foundation, Prada creates drawings in conversation with Tom's personal collages and archives ? opening the narrative to understand new nuances of gay sexuality and homo erotic art drawings and photography through the perspective of a woman. TOM explores Finnish artist Tom of Finland's collection of collages and personal reference pages through the eyes and hands of contemporary, female artist, Silvia Prada. Prada's characteristic portraits highlighting male beauty and iconography are seamlessly infused with various facets and visual cues directly drawn from Tom's artistic eye. Adding another historical and artistic layer, the portraits are set to geometric backdrops typical to Prada's work - loony remixes of 20th century art movements such as Bauhaus, De Stijl and Russian Constructivism. "For me, Tom of Finland is as huge as Andy Warhol, but he never had the recognition he deserved as an outsider. His work was very attractive in terms of sexuality. I was always an outsider. Even though I am gay, I never really connected with lesbian culture. I was into everything that relates to pop and gay. When I saw the article about Tom of Finland, I was like, 'This is really sexy' - but not in a sexual way or even about defining me as a gender because I am so feminine, too. Sexy has nothing to do with who you sleep with or how you represent as a gender; it goes beyond that. It's an energy, something we always want to pursue: this freedom in sex. "I feel like Tom and I work almost the same way: we do collages and then works on paper. I look at TOM as a historic achievement: I am the first woman who has had access to the Tom of Finland archives. I wanted to pay homage but also present a female gaze, relocating sexuality and style in a world that is not typically viewed as gay or macho. Let's go back to freedom. Tom of Finland is a feminist. Silvia is a gay tomboy. I hope to make a statement that a woman knows a lot about this. We have to share ideas so that we don't have those awful clichés. And that's what Tom of Finland did." For Prada, Tom was a seminal force in shaping her aesthetic sensibilities and artistic processes. Joakim Andreasson, Prada's good friend and creative director of the Tom of Finland Store, knew of her obsession and arranged an introduction to the Tom of Finland Foundation. From there, a beautiful collaboration began and has culminated in TOM, an online exhibition of new drawings and collages inspired by the archive, accompanied by a book of the same name.
