Urban Pin Up

From October 5th until November 16th part of this shoot of Asia and I was exhibited in 'Skek:

'Skek
Zeedijk 4 - 8
1012 AX Amsterdam

Description

The project is inspired on early pin up styles seen in the 50ies and 60ies, most notably represented by Bettie Page, mixed with an underground style from the world of graffiti. The images strive to bring the two worlds in harmony with one another.

The power of the images lies in joining the two different styles into one; letting the two worlds meet harmoniously. This is represented in the clothing, make-up style, attributes and environment.

The suit has been created especially for the photo-shoot. The fan, umbrella and the gloves have been painted by Asia with Montana paint. The different attributes represent the female artist where two worlds meet.

The photos were taken in a squat in Amsterdam Noord; a place that has been the home to many graffiti artists and a fitting environment to our theme.
