I don't like everything Bruno Peinado creates. But when i do, i spam all my friends with images of his work. Now it's your turn, you're my friend too:

At Artissima, he had several pieces, the only one i really dug is Untitled, Vanity Flight Case, a giant disco ball-like skull that was slowly spinning and projecting bits of lights onto the black walls of a small room. You were either hypnotized by the skull or disoriented and nearly sea-sick if you had the bad idea to watch the little lights turn around the room.

A year ago, i fell in love with The Big One World. It was nowhere to be seeen at Artissima but here's the portrait of this Black-Panther version of the Michelin Man.

Peinado a gogo.

Thanks for the pics! I comment simply because I recently saw something similar to this in san francisco, but it was a mirrored antler. To be honest with you, I think the mirrored skull is some how more interesting than antler-bling, but I can't say why.

Very cool Michelin Dude! lol
Please send me one to place it nearby to my desktop :-))

I was also at Artissima and posted an article about this piece. I was rather impressed by such a banal object, but full of connotation (disco, party, 60's, etc. etc.), can generate completely an another meaning. Indeed the installation space was transformed into the ending scene of 2001 space odyssey.
