The fascination with the well-dressed and anonymous continues. However, not with another photographer trawling the streets to capture the young, hip and hot; this time it is slightly more covert.
A photographic memory replaces the photographs. Artist Leo Greenfield commits the sartorially interesting to memory then later rehashes that memory as an illustration. A gorgeous idea with beautiful results. Based in Melbourne, we are granted an observer's view of the style set. From bearded bar staff to pretty girls on bikes, rad dads and fashion party patrons.
"His drawings concentrate on documentation and communication, as he illustrates from memory the ever-changing space of street life and culture. On paper Greenfield impresses the silhouette and patterns of contemporary dressing, subsequently creating intimate social portraits of places and their communities."
Greenfield sees the art in dressing well. Quite literally.
