HOW DOES THAT SHOW AND WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE IN THE PAINTINGS? BIJOU: I TOOK THE CONCEPT OF SPEED INTO MY OWN “BIJOU” UNIVERSE OF VINTAGE, FASHION, AND PATTERNS AND LOOKED THROUGH MY ARCHIVE OF PHOTOS. HVISK: YOUR PAINTINGS ARE INSPIRED BY HVISK’S LATEST COLLECTION CALLED SPEED. IT’S IMPORTANT FOR ME THAT MY PAINTINGS GIVE A WINDOW INTO A MORE PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL WORLD. MY SUBJECTS ARE OFTEN STRONG, UNIQUE, AND FASHIONABLE WOMEN SURROUNDED BY NATIVE PLANTS. I’M DRAWN TO BRIGHT BOLD COLORS THAT MAKE A STATEMENT. GOOGIE ARCHITECTURE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHAT INSPIRES ME. HVISK: WHAT INSPIRES YOU? BIJOU: LIVING IN LOS ANGELES, WHERE I GREW UP, I’VE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN THE MOMENTS FROM THE 1960S THAT SURVIVED TO THE PRESENT. I STARTED PAINTING WITH ACRYLIC GOUACHE IN COLLEGE WHEN I WAS EXPERIMENTING WITH DIFFERENT MEDIA AND HAVE USED IT EVER SINCE. HVISK: HOW DID PAINTING BECOME YOUR CREATIVE MEDIUM? BIJOU: NOTHING IS MORE RELAXING FOR ME THAN PAINTING. WE HAD A TALK WITH HER ABOUT HER WORK AS AN ARTIST AND WHAT INSPIRED HER TO DO THIS PROJECT. FOR THIS ATELIER WE TEAMED UP WITH THE LA BASED ARTIST, BIJOU KARMAN. THEIR DIFFERENT WAYS OF APPROACH INSPIRE US TO LOOK AT OUR COLLECTIONS DIFFERENTLY. WE COME ACROSS A LOT OF INSPIRING ARTISTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND THROUGH OUR ATELIER, WE ASK THEM TO INTERPRET OUR COLLECTIONS AND EXPRESS THEM THROUGH THEIR ART. HVISK ATELIER IS AN ONLINE COMMUNITY AND A DIGITAL SHOWCASE.
