The Pirart Society: clothes for boys!
Artists who collaborate to create fresh art throughout the world
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.

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.
