“If I saw the art around me that I liked, then I wouldn’t do art.” John Baldessari
‘Art is a mirror of everything that happens in the world, but it can also change our outlook on the world.
At Wolf & Rita we are always on the search for creative and uplifting works
of art. For our AW 17’18 collection we looked into the work of artists John Baldessari,
Eduardo Matos, and Shõji Ueda. Long time admirers of Baldessari’s art, we combined his mix of archival photography with dots and smears of paint with the delicate sculptures of Eduardo de Matos to create the bold, joyful and colourful prints of this collection.
Equally inspiring was the photographic work of Shõji Ueda in its quiet and graceful remembrance of youth and exquisite celebration of the beauty of little things. We live in fast-changing and troubled times, so innocence, hope and dreams are treasures to revere and protect.
The release also includes an adult capsule collection but I have concentrated on the kids fashion today.
