Nick Cave

THE ARTIST

"Meet Me at the Center of the Earth"

Norton Museum

West Palm Beach, Florida

I always get intrigued by successful people that share the same or similar names. Like Paul McCartney the Musician and Paul McCharty the Artist. Now it is all about Nick Cave the artist and what I hear in the back of my head is my favorite deadly romantic song "Where the wild roses grow" a duet Nick Cave the Musician did with Kylie Minogue. It is to cry for....

Anyway, Nick Cave the Artist´s work is a far cry from the wild roses. The former dancer and director of Chicago´s Art institute fashion program creates a whole world of his own.

He makes soundsuits

 

Look at the details in his work, perfectly stitched garments made out of scavenged materials like sweaters, ceramics, human hair, beads, buttons...

In the end the Soundsuits takes it's inspiration by everything from High fashion, African Culture, the Mardi Gras festival to Ceremonial Costumes and from this he creates his whole new integrated Universe.


Nick Cave offers a vision of a world turned upside down and inside out. (Norton Museum)


How new, how exciting and what incredible talent, don't you think? I just wished I could have stayed longer at the Norton Museum and studied his work more, now I look forward to seeing his work again one day.
