About the art

Artist statement
In this copy of Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa", a headless Gioconda takes the viewer's attention to the subject's attire.
This artwork's intent was simple: to take a well-known painting and modify it so the fashion portrayed could become the centre of the artwork's attention.
First purchased on eBay, and later "decapitated" by myself using an ordinary woodworking handsaw, this oil-on-canvas copy of the iconic relic dates to the late 1980s, according to the seller of the painting.
The painting's remaining part was duct-taped on the back of the artwork, both as a present to its future collector and a record of the artwork's irreverent creative process.
"Is a fashion painting a painting about clothes without a person at all?" This was the second answer to the question "What is a fashion painting?", the creative brief I assigned to myself for Vogue Singapore's March "Creativity" issue.
