The Selby: Pharrell Williams

December 14, 2010Cultureby Eugene Kan601 Views

The Selby enters the home of multi-talented designer, producer, singer and rapper Pharrell Williams in this latest feature. Over the years, we’ve seen many of Williams’ so-called toys and commissioned art pieces all making an appearance from artists including KAWS and Murakami as well as work from Keith Haring. The shoot took place at Williams’ beach-side home in Miami.

    His “poor black brothers” don’t support Pharrell’s music because he’s not hood enough.  Its ok though his paid black brothers will always support him. Yessir!!!

    Ok, tired of the word hate. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. IF all of us could, we would. Art is art and we all know that. Hype down, enjoy life and be cool.

    To all the Hater’s, your entitled to your own opinion……Pharrell’s house is amazing!!! The juxtapositioning of modern art , the architecture,the colours and fabric say “This is me!!! Like it or lump it”. Fantastic!!! If you can afford it, express yourself. It is like a fantasy play House, this is an interprettion of Modern/ Pop Art at it’s finest.

    The location, pool and staircase are great; but the Kaws Family Guy paintings are something only certain people can enjoy.

    Broseph, I didn’t saw KAWS wasn’t a Pop Artist.

    I said Pharrell is not a “Pop Artist.” Please re-read the comment in which I responded to. FMH244 made the statement that Pharrell is the new generation or Pop art, to which I respectfully disagreed with the basis of Pharrell being a musician who can afford art. As opposed to being a Pop Artist himself.

    I appreciate his taste in art (yes, art), its contemporary pop art. just because warhol is a pop artist doesn’t mean Kaws can’t too be part of that genre…. i don’t know why you think think that is a rule. Like Warhol, Kaws is painting pop icons… in this case family guy which LIKE Elvis, for example, garners HUGE attention from millions people. Family Guy one of the biggest shows on television, it is popular, it is art, it is pop art.

    I also appreciate his advocacy for art. Its important for people like pharrel who are idolized by so many to take a public interest in visual art… hes introducing young men to a part of culture that they may have never thought “cool”.

    “Damn, this guy is the new generation of pop art.”

    I’m sorry, but I will have to disagree with this statement. Haring, Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein…
    Those are pop artist’s.

    Pharrell simply has the means to afford art, I do not think that warrants him said label.

    Time and time again Pharrell Williams never cease to amaze me–seriously, what an icon. His presence in art inspires me so much; from his versatility in composing melodies to his taste in high-end couture. His upbringings makes him an active humanitarian. He’s also a real nerd, an individual with an urge to learn. And to top it all off, he has an eye for beauty–y’all seen “She Wants To Move” video right?

    Damn, this guy is the new generation of pop art.
