BLEND 5 – IVAN ARGOTE

horses-argoteHe shares a French kiss with a subway pole and sprays paint over a Mondrian. He deliberately steps in dog poop and dances in front of a painting by Malevich to Close To You by The Cure. Artist Ivan Argote does not want to limit himself in any way and deals with many different subjects like art history, politics and social issues through all kinds of media: film, photography and painting. BLEND interviewed Argote and published his series Horses (2010 – 2011), that shows pictures of equestrian statues in Paris and New York without their famous riders.
Check out two of his short videos below and Ivan Argote’s website for more work and videos.
