Always pushing boundaries with a playful charm that oscillates between seduction and repulsion, art and fashion, the
“Cuddly Book”
by Sylvie Fleury adopts a materialistic language used by commercial industry to target the feminine market by pushing found or purchased items beyond the obvious with a sharp and often provocative humor.
Taking a departure from the artist’s faux fur projects of the early 90s that explored gender and ambivalence, Sylvie Fleury has created the “Cuddly Book” with pages that have been entirely conceived with a selection of intensely colored furs; an iconic material of contemporary fashion that the artist has frequently employed.
These “pages” are bound with colored imitation leather, making this monumental book a definitively new and tantalizing work.
Sylvie Fleury (b. 1961) is a contemporary Swiss pop artist known for her installations, sculptures, and mixed media. Her work generally depicts objects with sentimental and aesthetic attachments in consumer culture, as well as the paradigm of the new age. Specifically, much of her work addresses issues of gendered consumption and the fetishistic relationships to consumer objects.
Critics have labeled her work "post-appropriationist," and her books “The art of survival”, “First Spaceship on Venus and Other Vehicles”, have been featured internationally. In 2015, she won the Prix de la Société des Arts de Genève.
Sylvie Fleury 的著作”cuddly book“采用了一种商业界使用的唯物主义语言，把女性市场作为目标，超越了一种显而易见的带有尖锐的以及通常具有挑衅性的幽默，来推动被发现的或者被购买的商品。她以一种幽默的魅力来突破界限，这种魅力经常在诱惑与排斥，艺术和时尚之间徘徊。
背离了90年代初期艺术家们探索性别和矛盾情绪的人造皮毛项目，Sylvie Fleury创作了“Cuddly Book“这本书，这本书的整体构思是汇集了一系列精选的带有浓烈色彩的软毛来构成书的每一页 ；这是艺术家在当代时尚中经常使用的一种标志性材料。
这些“页面”与彩色的人造皮革捆绑在一起，使这本具有纪念性意义的书成为了一件焕然一新并且诱人的作品。
