About
Str4ngeThing calls upon AI as an alter ego to help bring to life fascinating images because they confront opposite universes, coming straight out of the combined imagination of the artist and AI.
These works also show how fashion brands can inspire artists, and the benefits that can come from collaborations with artists taking a unique look at their world.

Many artists who use AI consider it not just as a tool, but as a true creative partner, giving it a thinking, active, creative and reactive role in the development of the artwork.
The co-creation of a work by an artist and AI is a revolution in art history: the author cedes their position as artist demiurge to share the authorship of the artwork with the machine.

This artwork captures how logos have become cultural icons within the music industry, often adopted by influential artists as part of their personal style. These elements have transcended their original purpose, evolving into statements of status and identity.
By transposing modern symbols into historical contexts, the artist renews our understanding of classical painting on one hand, and on the other, he nourishes and showcases a new contemporary mythology.

Print on Blacktex canvas
Plug & Pug is a playful yet refined commentary on certain styles and symbols that became mythical within contemporary culture.
The figure, referred to as the "Plug" (a nod to British slang for someone who can get things others want), wears a large garment boldly showcasing a logo iconic of the 1990s. His pose is provocative but the classical environment contributes to giving a feeling of romanticism. He is surrounded by various symbols of luxury and a pug.
This work merges the elegance of classical art with the boldness of modern streetwear. It highlights the iconic character of these types of garment and the pivotal role of the brand in merging premium fashion with street culture, creating a fashion phenomenon that resonated globally.
