Pedro Sandaval – Abstraccion
Abstraccion was created for the Fashion Art project by renowned Venezuelan artist Pedro Sandaval, and fashion designer Manu Fernandez. Pedro’s neo-expressionist influences can be seen in this piece with its abstract and dreamlike patterns, as well as a Japanese influence from his early days as an artist.
Pedro has worked closely with leading neo-expressionist artists in Germany such as Georg Baselitz, Sigmar Polke and Anselm Kiefer, with whom he became part of what Wolfrang Becker called the ”New Savages”, a term used to identify painters who were at the forefront of the movement.
Fashion Art was created by Manuel Fernandez, it is a collaboration between visual artists and fashion designers in which their respective languages are combined to create a dress that is an authentic work of art. It is a project that is in constant evolution, where the fusion of Art and Fashion takes place in the eye of the spectator with the artists’ work taking center stage and the dress as the underlying canvas it is displayed on.
