maharishi’s Churchill Gallery in London will launch a new exhibition including works by Andrew Brandou and Dr Romanelli’s newest Surgical Strike Collection. American artist Brandou themes his art around Adubon prints, citing an inspiration in the "high level of care and craft [which] has given them longevity, but they hold little interest to a contemporary audience.” With this in mind, his "After Audubon" exhibition sets to modernize Audubon’s work by incorporating elements of pop culture, street fashion and designer toys. The result is a contemporary work which incorporates the best of the new and old school.
Dr. Romanelli’s latest line, the Surgical Strike Collection sets out to bring out the passion and tradition within military dress. The goal of this collection was to utilize unconventional forms and add it to the obvious functionality of military dress. The collection has a very much urban feel in association with products of the highest order.
The works and jackets will be available for sale shortly on maharishi.
