Welcome to the Dior Talks series themed around the sixth edition of Dior Lady Art and hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman. For this year’s event, 12 artists from around the world have participated in a game of metamorphosis by rendering the iconic Lady Dior handbag as a unique piece of art.
“On one hand, I wanted to give the Lady Dior transparency, to expose it. On the other, I wanted to give it suppleness through the impression of draping and dressing it in a swirling, moving painting,” says multidisciplinary French artist Antonin Hako who for his “bag in flight” sought to reinterpret the Lady Dior as a symbol of liberty and lightness. Crafted from a translucent resin evoking glass, the eye-catching creation is draped in a resin overlay adorned with bold patterns created using state-of-the-art technology.
Fueled by a vision of perpetual movement inspired by the skateboarding culture of his youth, Hako’s work has a singular energy characterized by bright colors and freedom of form and expression, from the canvas to flags, hot-air balloons and “frozen draperies.” This fascinating artist sees his paintings as portals into another reality where everything is possible.
