AXIS’ NIGHTMARE RE RE-VISITED

For those of you who did not have the opportunity to experience what might have been the most fascinating spectacle to hit the streets of Los Angeles, take a moment to re-live the nightmare.

Axis made sure his exhibition truly depicted a nightmare with an authentic Irish coffin bearing the remains of a poor sole that looked as if he had drank himself to death, still holding onto an empty bottle of whisky. Two large pythons slithered in an out of the coffin and its surroundings, not to mention on the skimpy model who shared the enclosure. The show featured about 50 new pieces that Axis had painted especially for this, his first ever solo show. Axis will be working closely with SURU in the future with additional T-shirt designs and a book that should be released sometime in 2009. More details to follow.

SURU (which means "hand printed" or print by hand" in Japaneses) is a concept retail store and brand. The vision is simple: combine the world of art and fasion into a retail store that caters to today's ever growing demand for high end street wear and fasion forward consumers.
