Description

Dedicated mailing and e-mail campaign to contemporary art media. The title of the series is inspired by the classic martial arts movie "Enter the 36 Chambers of Shaolin", the story of which inspired the debut album by Wu-Tang Clan. Drago plan 36 titles in the series the creative brief of which is that artists may only use black and white and a single clour of their choice. "Let the Kids Play" displays a fresh naivete with every turn of the page. More than an artist's book, it is the artist's creative diary of Post-Modern childhood. Through graffiti, drawings and photography Pax defines her universe the same way children play - with the symbolic objects of their enchanted world.

Reviews

"An intimate diary similar to the secret box we had when we were kids, full of useless treasures, which are really precious objects from a world between reality and imagination"--Laura Lombardi, Italian art critic

Author Bio

Born in Rome, 1974, Pax Paloscia, graduated from the Academy of Illustration and Image of Rome before moving to Milan at the age of 22 to work with a number of different advertising agencies, publishing houses, newspapers and magazines as a freelance artist. The elements most influencing her work are the urban movements and street art but photography remains her true obsession. Pax's work, influenced by street culture and the world of kids meant as a metaphor of the human condition, is a continuous contamination of languages, ranging from painting to photography, to videos. Her collaborations include: Rolling Stone, Urban, Enville, Sole24Ore, Feltrinelli, Enaudi, Mondadori, McCann Erickson, Leo Burnett, Saatchi and Saatchi, J. W. Thompson, Publicis, Ogilvy, IBM, Nike, Mazda, Omnitel, Findus, Levi's, Fnac and Mandarina Duck. In 2007 she graduated from International Center of Photography of New York. She is continuing her work as a freelance artist between both New York and Rome.
