The Smell Of Death
New York born artist Tom Sachs is something of a troublemaker on the art scene. Focused on critiquing fashion and street cultures, he manipulates our ideas of consumption, branding, commercial imagery and objects of money and power. Tom Sachs addresses the mania around fashion, attempting to change viewer’s perceptions of precious items and revered icons, such as the French Chanel brand. The Chanel Chainsaw and Chanel Guillotine are fine examples of his black humour.
