John Paul Fauves shares how his art captures the loss of innocence and the temptation of indulgence in society.
Mickey Mouse is a symbol of innocence for many but for John Paul, it represents the temptation of a hedonist lifestyle.Not much is known about John Paul Fauves, the Costa Rican artist who has yet to reveal his face to the public. However, even without knowing how John Paul looks like, his works are distinctive enough to warrant himself known to the world. The most striking feature would be how he collages iconic personalities such as Marilyn Monroe and James Dean with art history references.
Taking the style of Fauvism, John Paul looks towards fellow artists such as Henri Matisse whenever he feels stuck and needed a creative breakthrough. Closer to the contemporary times, it is Jean-Michel Basquiat that he relates to the most and he also shared that the late eminent artist was one mentor that constantly inspired him as he makes strides as an artist.
Going a step further, John Paul thinks that our obsession with leading a hedonistic lifestyle has robbed us of our innocence and he captures this through his use of the Mickey Mouse motif across his paintings. “The hedonist Mickey is a character that seeks pleasure no matter what the consequence [and] he’s a worldwide iconic figure of innocence. Mickey being a worldwide figure of innocence represents the hedonistic lifestyle we have all been tempted,” explains the artist.
