Serge STROSBERG(1966)
The Expressionist of Fashion
“Living in the heart of SoHo, I am surrounded by fashion storefronts, light, reflections,music, vibrations, marching crowds, police sirens…This constant flow of energy givesme the nspiration to paint.” says Strosberg.
There are 4 floors and large windows separating his studio from this world of massconsumption and glamour. At the end of the day, all that is left on the streets is trashfrom the retail stores or consumers. SoHo is beautiful and frightening at the sametime. Is this neighborhood a vast storefront window reflecting’s people’s dreams ortime. Is this neighborhood a vast storefront window reflecting’s people’s dreams ornightmares ? Is it fantasy or reality? What have modern values become? Some haute-couture marks have become so culturally significant that they have acquired asecondary meaning beyond their branding function.
Serge Strosberg was born in Antwerp, Belgium, and graduated with honors from theAcademie Julian in Paris, France. Although being mainly a painter, he took photographyclasses with Peter Knapp, art director for Elle and Vogue, and was always immersed inthe world of fashion.
Professional models are recruited at a very young age by agencies and their life is farfrom glamorous. They are usually not chosen for their personality but for their looks.Many of these young women and men project an impression of narcissism which goesin pair with the voyeurism of modern society (more so male society). They are prey forfashion photographers, consumers who see them in magazines or on posters insidethe stores, TV reality show audiences. Their masks hide a much deeper personalitythat is as complex as other human being’s lifes. Influenced both by Germanexpressionism and American realism, Strosberg paints the models or mannequins,behind the windows of fashion storefronts using reflections as a metaphor for oursociety’s values.
His vibrant work deals with contemporary materialism, entitlement, narcissism, voyeurism,imitation and uniformity. Unlike fashion photographers who airbrush and work with make upartists to objectify models, or designers who are only interested in the dresses worn, he givesexpressions to models from the fashion world on canvas….through painting.
Mr. Strosberg describes himself as “the Expressionist of Fashion.” He has had many soloexhibitions, including the Elaine Baker Gallery, Boca Raton FL; Alliance Francaise Gallery,Miami, FL; Ludwig Trossaert Gallery, Antwerp, Belgium; and the Philippe Fregnac Gallery,Paris, France. He also has shown his work at the New Century Artists, New York, NY;Himalayas Art Museum, Shanghai, China; Orangerie of the France Senate, Paris; and theJewish Museum, Brussels, Belgium. He has received numerous awards, including a SoHoArtist Certification granted by New York City and the Allocation for Life of a landmark artist’sstudio, Paris.
