Contemporary Art - Sculpture - Chanel n°5 bottle, Mickey and Minnie, in love

Aditional Information

Period	Contemporary (1945-today)

It's my personal vision of the legendary Chanel n°5 bottle, with all the icons of fashion, pop art, music and cinema inside, in 3D effect, thanks to the transparency of the plexiglass.
A SIMPLE, ELEGANT DESIGN. Coco Chanel certainly didn't expect such success when she designed Chanel's N°5 bottle. Such was the beauty of the bottle that it was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1959. While the genius designer wanted a simple bottle, she created an object of covetousness, a true work of art that continues to fuel the imagination of all. In simple elegance, an object so simplistic for its time that it had no trouble finding its place in the avant-garde category.

Artist Biography

Patrick Cornée joined the marines at age 16, encouraged by his father who was a career military man. He was quickly noticed for his unique personality and after six years spent navigating around the world, he returned to life as a civilian.

The greatest upheaval of his life was paradoxically the return to childhood: he returned to his early passion for drawing and the joy he felt in recreating the world as he saw fit. He let his morose routine be shattered and enrolled at the fine arts school of Toulon. He likes to get into everything and work with painting and engraving, collage and spray paint…

His overflowing enthusiasm relies on the great working discipline he kept from his life in the marines. Propelled by the lively bursts he feels in going back to his childhood, he wanders from one style to the next and develops a joyful and colorful visual language in which themes such as dance, music, parties and fashion come together triumphantly.

His universe has many facets and is populated with spinning slender ballerinas, mocking dogs and icons drawn from pop art. He depicts carefreeness and wants to show “how rich life is in beauty and love”. His paintings are full of allusions to the contemporary world he views with humour and good intentions.

He has participated in many expositions throughout Europe, the United States and Asia in which his paintings, like echoes of his love for life, have won over the most diverse crowds.
