Liam in Layers

A Moment Captured: Wearable Art on the Runway

This 120cm x 80cm painting of Liam, rendered in acrylic and latex polymer paint on pine board, immortalises a pivotal moment from my 2019 runway show my first ever runway collection. It captures Liam, a model, as he graced the runway adorned in a truly unique, bespoke hand-painted ensemble.

More than just a portrait, this artwork delves into the profound intention behind the original garment. It transcends the typical perception of fashion, elevating the clothing from mere attire to wearable art. The vibrant strokes and rich textures of the paint on board echo the intricate details of the hand-painted fabric, inviting viewers to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship embedded within every stitch and brushstroke. This piece isn't just about a moment in time; it's a testament to the belief that clothing can, and should, be seen as a canvas for creative expression.
