Lupe Vélez in Hussein Chalayan A/W 2000
This bronze statuette, the last in an edition of three, depicts Hollywood actor Lupe Vélez wearing an outfit from Hussein Chalayan's Autumn/Winter 2000 collection. The statuette's verdigris patina was commonly used by sculptors of the Art Deco period, meant to resemble the green patinas of ancient sculptures rescued from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. Its pose is reminiscent of fashion models as they glide along the runway, bringing a calm confidence to the intriguing combination of early 20th-century celebrity and early 21st-century fashion.
Nicolas G. Miller addresses the temporality of both sculpture and fashion by staging encounters with the historicity of sculpture and its refraction through the prism of his hometown, Los Angeles. Miller uses state-of-the-art digital 3D sculpting and printing to produce intricate artworks in various materials, including bronze and painted resin. His art often references the cyclical return of fashions while questioning the effects of technology on our shared search for a meaningful past.
