Triumph of the Sign is the first solo art show of fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. The fruit hasn't fallen very far from the tree for this exhibition, as Castelbajac concerns himself with the tensions and relations that exist between consumer culture, fashion and high art. Questioning provenance and branding, the paintings on show are all made in China copied Western masterpieces that have been painted and then overlaid by another group of painters with logos including, rather cheekily, his own (see below).
Triumph of the Sign by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac is on until May 2nd at Paradise Row, 17 Hereford Street, London, E2.
