Would you burn $15,000 Louis Vuitton case for the sake of Art ?

Louis Vuitton Trunk on Fire by Tyler Shields

For his latest artistic project, celebrity photographer Tyler Shields has set on fire a $15,000 Louis Vuitton suitcase. Torturing the vintage Louis Vuitton case, Shields, 34, broke the hearts of women around the world. He described the shoot - for his 'Provocateur' series - as being a 'crazy' experience.

This is not the first time Shields has destroyed a luxury item for a photo shoot. Shields says it took him few years to find the trunk as it is rare and not cheap.

You don't say.

In 2012, he burned a $100,000 crocodile skin Hermes Birkin along with then girlfriend Francesca Eastwood, daughter of the famous actor and film director Clint Eastwood.

Sophie Derrick Art

Her work incorporates the two mediums of painting and photography. She has a great interest in the materiality and substance of paint, and executes this interest through photography, creating a juxtaposition of the two mediums. Shephotograph the act of painting on toskin and then paints on top of the photographs, creating a layering of image of paint and painted image. Her body becomes the canvas for the paint, questioning the traditional concept of painting and portraiture, and the barriers between painting and photography. The body becomes both object and subject in the work.

LOUI JOVER ART

The hand drawn stark black lines against the intricate printed words of the book pages offer a strange fusion and depth that seems to give the images a kind of 'meaning' and back story, even though unconnected in a contrived way

Art..........Cartoon............Thought "Right now I like making ink drawings on adhered together sheets of vintage book paper, there is a fragility to these images that I find interesting (as if the wind may blow them away at any moment) and the hand drawn stark black lines against the intricate printed words of the book pages offer a strange fusion and depth that seems to give the images a kind of 'meaning' and back story, even though unconnected in a contrived way. I never pick the image for the pages or visa-versa they just collide as chance permits, any meaning they may have is purely created by the observer and their own imaginings." I have drawn since childhood and as other children stop at some point in their development i never did. I draw obsessively every single day filling books with ideas, cartoons and drawings. So my drawing abilities seem to have developed in natural progression giving me the ability to freely use a number of distinct styles and approaches.

I have formally studied commercial and graphic art and hold an advanced certificate in visual communication. I was employed and served as an 'illustrator repographic' in the Australian Army, This job included regimental photography and related darkroom procedures . I have held several solo exhibitions, and have been included in numerous group and collective shows. My work has been acquired and is included in interesting private,corporate and public collections, throughout the world. My illustrations, cartoons and artworks have been reproduced in books and other printed periodicals. I am a self represented full time artist. I primarily like to work with ink on paper, but am versed with oils and acrylics and enjoy making and using collage. I also (as well as the book page drawings) am currently working (slowly) on a series of large oil paintings based on childhood memories. I live in Queensland Australia with my wife Fee and young daughter Jazz. I have a small studio in my backyard where i hide and work. I immigrated to Australia from Europe with my parents when i was a young child. I have traveled extensively throughout Asia and Europe. The rest is yet to come. thank you for your interest. "A wonderful artist" - The Sir Hon Ronald Arculli OBE
