DIESEL ART GALLERY presents the exhibition of Christian Joy, who is known for her stage costume designs for Yeah Yeah Yeah's charismatic lead singer, Karen O. Christian Joy is one of the internationally notable talents of today in the fashion industry. Her work for Karen O got more and more attention as Karen's popularity rises. Considered a fashion icon, Karen's radical and striking costumes are a hot topic. Naturally, Joy graced the cover of Time Out New York magazine in their “MOST STYLISH NEW YORKER”issue. In this exhibition, you will experience her charm and see the most progressive fashion design coming from New York City.

CONCEPT:

The greatest thing about Christian Joy is her imaginative costume creations that pronounce the personality and character of each performer so well. These costumes were used in musical performances, theaters, dance performances, photo shoots, and music videos. An overwhelming presence radiates from her costumes which speak a symbolic and expressive language in the areas of graphic design and printmaking.

In this exhibition, in addition to her work from 2002 - 2012, including Karen O’s stage costumes, her new series of costumes called“Kite Monsters”will be shown exclusively for DIESEL ART GALLERY. There will also be video installations and textile artworks showing her work in action.
