Leigh Callaway - Jean- Paul Goude 7

       Jean- Paul Goude is an avant-garde artist whose work has enthralled the fashion world for over 30 years. he express his self through various media , design , advertising, photography, cinema, video production and event design. He also one of the creator for controversial billboard campaigns. he loved the to get the intended shock factor. He played with a lot of racial and sex stereotypes. He was intrigued by was the unexplored potential of the human body and sexuality.
         He has a passion of the exotic, his picture of women are challenging, embodied by his models , inspirational muses, often partners.   Goude deconstructs and modifies and estranges the human body  rendering its "other" or dream like state. I like that is is influenced by the people he connects with , which is something I do in my art work. He is very radical, and that is how i would like to my work to feel very in your face. He gives you something to laugh about, something to think about, and something to feel.
