Jessica Stoller´s Cabinet of curiosities lures you into the dark side of Alice´s wonderland. A realm of the unpredictable, filled with naked flesh, dark brides and aching lust. Sometimes her porcelain figurines gather together, forming real space vanitas still life paintings. ..
These dark, romantic objects come with a clever twist by mixing kinky comics fantasies with the sublimal sexuality of fairytales. Rococo relics glazed with cuteness overload.
“People always want to know about the past, but I’m much more interested in tomorrow” Ultra Violet
Isabelle Collin Dufresne a.k.a. Ultra Violet, artist, author, and former colleague and superstar of Andy Warhol. In 1963, Dalí introduced Dufresne to Andy Warhol, and soon she moved into the orbit of his unorthodox studio, “The Factory”. In 1964 she selected the stage name “Ultra Violet” at Warhol’s suggestion, because it was her preferred fashion—her hair color at the time was often violet or lilac. She became one of many “superstars“ in Warhol’s Factory, and played multiple roles in over a dozen films between 1965 and 1974.
After a long battle with cancer, she died on the morning of 14 June 2014 in New York City. R.I.P.
