Pam II By Gill Carvalho

Gil Carvalho boldly brings fashion to the world of art. A graduate from The London College of Fashion and shoe designer for the likes of Madonna, Kylie and Fergie, Carvalho creates outlandish, brightly coloured prints that centre around the iconic be that the Hermès Birkin Bag or the Queen herself. Carvalho’s stylish prints are conceived through a range of media, including screen printing, photography and digital art, to create an utterly desirable aesthetic. ‘Pam’ works with the blurred image of a woman, rendered in Ben Day dots to make Lichtenstein proud. Posed against a flat turquoise background, the woman’s face is not visible but we might guess from the name of the print, the tiny bikini, and the not so tiny chest that this is Pamela Anderson, hot as ever, in pop art rendition. It’s loud and brash, while disarmingly minimal, in a way that works to striking effect.
