What I like around new year is that it’s a season where everybody is very generous. Not give-food-or-shelter-to-people-on-streets generous but buy-useless-stupid-toys-for-grand-kids generous.
And so I feel generous and consider all of you as my kids that I want to please. To help ou pass winter here is my gift to you: Pirart Society Wallpapers.

If someone needs a banner to enhance a web page or decorate a wall, here is a good one:
The Pirart Society: clothes for boys!
To me, as Pirart is inspired by many things of our childhood such as American TV sitcoms, pop culture as well as traditional french culture and child-associated references, it makes sens that in the end some images turn out to look very much like something we are used to but yet something new. Alright that’s the definition of dejavu-production.com
Nevertheless I like to play with anachronism and classic imagery; I also need to come up with a visual support for the promotion of Pirart Society. One image I came up with is the following which for some strange reason makes me think of the 80’s and Michael Jordan amongst other things.

That’s nice: how it feels. It feels new yet like you already know it, no? That’s the Pirart Man, a typical one, in its human form; all in style and French joie-de-vivre. But where does he get his “je ne sais quoi”, his “carismatic charm” as mentioned the highly aclamed design magasin Prö Baganda? Just there, in a Secret Society.
The Pirart Man, by Tany - About Pirart
C’est relaxant n’est-ce pas? Comme de reconnaitre quelque chose de familier qui pourtant vous semble nouveau. C’est l’homme Pirart, qui porte l’art de Tany; Tout en style et en joie-de-vivre, qui emporte avec lui nos envies, c’est un homme au “charme charismatique” qui l’a souligné la revue avant-gardiste Prö Baganda. Just là, auprès de la Société secrete.
Tany has been working a lot on paintings but lately with the opening of The Pirart Society, he has been more than ever involved in digital media creation.
Here are some works done for Pirart, mostly for packaging or promotional support. He develops here the themes that are dear to him: Pirates, Pirart, the smoking pipe, the crossed paint brushes, the eye patch etc.

Tany a travaillé principalement ces derniers moi sur supports digitaux, afin de mener à bien le projet Pirart Society. Ci-dessus sont quelques travaux utilisé comme support packaging et vecteur promotionnel; les thèmes classiques de Pirart sont ici développés: Pirates, la pipe, les pinceaux en croix, le cache-œil…
It is difficult to find or come across new things, fresh ideas that smack you in the face and make you want to do better and progress. There is a new place in town, a little shop – a shy one – that opened very recently and is still secret to most of us.
It is a place where you will find old things, new things, clever things and ugly things. A place where you can participate and act, be the actor of your present instead of just being another consumer. Where you can ask for some alterations and changes and make the hole project get better.
It’s not only that, it’s a place where one man, an artist – our artist – has been working on; an area with a real touch and feel, where items are well thought and unexpected. An artsy place.
It’s also somewhere people think about the big picture: globalization, global warming and fare trade. Where they purchase from only very respectable merchants and artisans. A nice place.
Also the nice thing is that they are only producing in limited series so you are sure not everyone will wear the same snazzy shirt or dashing top.
It’s a Society, The Pirart Society. An e-shop selling handmade clothes and toys, produced in France or Los Angeles, with good old needles and paint brushes and nothing else. A fun fare where you can buy some great apparel but it only limited series.
They say: Art, Fun, Life, Pirates. PirArt.

So here we are, fall of 2009 and Tany has his first picture published in the renowned Courrier International – Issue n°989 in the additional leaflet on “Cahier des tendances N°2″ (trends).
The piece, page 10, is about the Secret Science Club, and the picture was done for that SSC in 2007. Unfortunately the work is a little old and not the best of the lot but it’s still something worth mentioning.

Zey are everywhere, in Roswell, in “mon slip” as would say Jacques Dutronc, on our sidewalks and in our video games.

At the time of mp3 and DVD, as a tribute to Minibar’s dedication to release vinyls and there continuous effort to create fresh music track, Tany has designed a little old school image of his, a little propaganda for your souls.
A mix tape of minibar, an anachronism for your eyes.
A new image by Tany, based on the Minibar imagery and on the opening of a Minibar bar… and the upcoming release of the twentieth minibar compilation disk. Hence the play-on-words “wine” and “twenty” in french.
There is another red spot on our little earth, a blood-colored head levitating a meter above ground, with horns ans ears. Tany has made a sculpture, still inovating around one of his favorit theme, and has delivered an unexpected work of art. A red shiny cow hed (2m wide, 1.5m long) made of plaster, and paper. Pif paf.
People often judge artists as narcissist, egocentric and self-obsessed human beings; this work is a perfect illustration of that saying. Tany has featured himself in a digital remix of some of his works, a lazy remix some might say, a unexpected and powerful re-instantiation of his genius others might conclude.
This digital media is based on three works: two paintings Yellow Frog and Corporate Asset, and a digital media image Three Sisters. You will notice some scissors here and there, I can already tell you it is an unconscious expression of a revolution to come! Tany is preparing a big thing…
