Pharrell Williams, music producer and member of N.E.R.D, is currently exhibiting his latest design ambition entitled Perspective at the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, Paris. The exhibition consists of a single chair its seat supported with the legs of both a man and a woman and was created with the help of furniture designer Domeau & Pérès. The chair which is on display in four colors comes with a seat that can either be wrapped in leather, velour, or veal skin. Williams, no stranger to design, has previously worked on two separate jewelry lines, one in collaboration with Louis Vuitton’s in-house jewelry designer Camille Miceli the other with street artist KAWS.

Kehinde Wiley opened his third solo show at Deitch Projects in SoHo last night. The exhibition, DOWN, includes seven large-scale portraits done in Wiley’s signature style. Kehinde Wiley is known for creating his own version of contemporary portraiture that appropriates young African American men in the place of more well known portraits of old world power figures, religious icons etc.. For his newest solo exhibition he has chosen to depict seven young men from Brooklyn in poses inspired by the fallen warriors and saints that appeared in the old 18th and 19th century paintings of Holbein, Mantegna, Houdon, Maderno, Retout and Clesinger. The young men are shown in old traditional poses of religious figures or leaders in the moment of death or repose, but their expressions and dress are wholly their own. The largest of the portraits is a breath taking 25 feet in length and has an asking price of $300,000. The exhibit will be on view until December 20th, 2008.
