The internet gasped audibly when Fuco Ueda launched her website last year. Ueda’s works of in-exhalable beauty (acrylic and powdered mineral pigments on paper, cloth, and wood) are cloaked with an intangible darkness which is sometimes cloyingly subtle. However, in Fuco Ueda’s earlier works from 2000-2001 themes of stripey socks, incandescent sea creatures and schoolgirl honey drool give way to lost innocence, vulnerability, clutched skulls, and defenseless goldfish. A period so dark, it would best be described in the voice of Werner Herzog. I’ll shoot him an email.

These are incredible. I feel like she’s turning that image of harmless, gentle femininity on its head and making it dangerous and painful like it sometimes is to be a girl!

Love the artwork! And I’m just noticing your new header, fantastic.
Love Grace.
At the same time, an inescapable function of fashion in most countries is to serve as a status symbol.
Wow! I have to admit these are great artwork, to be honest it represent the art of fashion that we need, specially for women.
