PORCELAIN DISH TOILETPAPER SELETTI REVOLVER ART 16917

Maurizio Cattelan, a key figure in contemporary art, and the photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari have designed an unparalleled capsule collection for Seletti, which is at the same time provocative, amusing, absurd, deviant... The plates, cups, tablecloths and soap in this collection are adorned with surreal images taken from the Toilet Paper magazine, founded in 2010 by the two Italian artists. Perfectly manicured cropped fingers, crunchy soap, fish stuffed with precious stones, canary with a severed wing... Toilet Paper's dreamlike and dark-humor models borrow from fashion, advertising, combining commercial photography, twisted visual stories and surreal images. Toilet Paper questions our contemporary obsession with images by exploring our most unspeakable desires and impulses. The different pieces of the Toilet Paper collection are many evocative paintings, mixtures of disturbing normality and disturbing ambiguity, in front of which fear mixes with visual pleasure. A work of art as such, the Toilet Paper collection questions, through its accessibility of its price and its wide distribution, the nature and limits of the contemporary art market. A question that has always been at the heart of Maurizio Cattelan's work... This porcelain plate measures: Ø 27 cm. It is dishwasher safe.
