Kurt Pio is an amazing artist out of Cape Town that I’m currently obsessed with. I found his work on The Jealous Curator, and I was immediately obsessed with his champagne paintings. The diamonds are particularly gorgeous. I love the fractured yellow in the Diamond above. The fractured colors are like reflections of our broken world at the moment.
There’s a scene in the movie Chocolat that I love, where the main character spins a decorated plate and asks characters to tell her what they see. Everyone sees something different– an image that reflects themselves. Looking into the diamonds, I think everyone can take away something different.
But the Veuve Cliquot bottles are what really got me. I’m a sucker for the dripping paint look.
See more of his amazing work on his instagram, and let me know if you’ve seen any great art recently!
And doesn’t he just have the cutest little butt?
