"كشخه" Art?

What would happen if art married fashion? or at-least had consumerist tendencies?

The following pieces answer just that.. 








Jean-Charles de Castelbajac in his new art exhibition dubbed "Triumph of the Sign" blends consumerist signage (**mostly famous fashion house labels) with canonized pieces of Art History.. 

According to Dazed Digital, his work is essentially "classical masterpieces pitted against brand logos.. consumer culture versus highbrow art.."

Eye sore? 

Or a fascinating anthropological discussion of how consumerist signage/alleged high status labels have reached high popularity somehow reaching if not surpassing those famous works of art? 

As my esteemed Art History University Professor always said, "art is an interaction between the viewer and the painting."

So yeah, 

Like life, Art is what we make it...
