About the Item

Benjamin is a British artist and designer, a true genius who works in an absolutely unique technique, whose works are held in numerous public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In 2017 he realized a five piece installation in the windows of New York’s Bergdorf Goodman department store, using his signature material — tulle. Benjamin has also collaborated with Givenchy and John Galliano bringing together art and Haute Couture. Givenchy's creative director Riccardo Tisci has chosen Benjamin Shine to create his new Art-collection. Tulles Portraits Series depict abstracted faces, formed from the folds of a single length of tulle. These portraits are very detailed, constructed from the folds of hand-manipulated tulle fabric, and also without any paint or drawing involved. Framed in a glass box. Each of the artworks is created by manipulating a single length of lightweight, fine netted tulle to fabricate carefully-formed faces and figures.
