    Scabal revisit Dalí’s tailored Vision

    It’s fascinating to look back on past generations’ ideas of what the future will bring. How accurate they are. How we exceed their wildest imaginations. How the context of their present informs their ideals. Now, take someone with an extraordinary mind, whose art seemingly has no reference point other than a privileged look into a…

  • Thinkpiece — Orchestral Intelligence

    Thinkpiece — Orchestral Intelligence

    I enjoy my writing like I do my food, succulent and dripping with intrigue; a non-perfect experimentation of the chef’s beliefs in what good food should be. Precise, perfect writing bores me, for the most part because it tells me absolutely nothing about the person that wrote it. An inconsistent ordering of words, a slightly…

  • A Man Called Horse — Nic Fiddian-Green

    A Man Called Horse — Nic Fiddian-Green

    To my shame, before speaking with the sculptor Nic Fiddian-Green, I had little idea who he was. I knew that most of his work was horse-based, large pieces of art commissioned to stand in landscapes, urban and rural, some private, others very public. I’d seen pictures of his studio, the artist himself, covered in dust,…

    Spectre — Inspired by Primivera

    To understand the nature of bespoke is to understand the nature of Rolls-Royce. In truth, every Rolls-Royce that leaves the Goodwood factory is bespoke, the plethora of choices available meaning that no two Rolls-Royces leave the same. It’s not just about custom trims, or seating fabric choice; every element from the starlit headliner to the…

    Manuel Mathieu presents Archipelago

    The olfactory is perhaps our most mystical sense. Everyone has been transported or transcended to a profound place or feeling by a nostalgic scent. It’s so affecting because it is typically unannounced, always invisible and yet so psychologically tangible. Scents are also incredibly difficult to attach to other mediums, with scratch ‘n sniff still being…

  • Steinway & Sons + Mickey Mouse

    Steinway & Sons + Mickey Mouse

    There is a musicality in cartoons that blends the auditory and the visual better than almost any other medium. The clash of symbols to denote destruction; a crooning saxophone begetting a mischievous turn; the unbridled joy expressed in the whistle of a mouse freshly animated. That last scene is perhaps the most famous instance of…

  • Phantom Scintilla: A Muse Reborn

    Phantom Scintilla: A Muse Reborn

    Often we never really understand the true resonance and impact of the decisions we make until we have a great enough scope to review them in posterity. This could be said for sculptor Charles Sykes’ decision to employ Eleanor Thorton, Lord Montagu’s secretary, paramour and alleged muse for the now world-famous Spirit of Ecstasy. In…

    TWIST/d — by Based Upon

    Based Upon’s latest creation could happily occupy a room as a simple piece of art. It has no obligation to be a functional marvel of technology. It certainly doesn’t owe us such a bounty of musical possibilities. And yet, it delivers on the above to such astounding effect that one wonders what to label it.…
