Intrigued by the gradual dilution of archetypes of beauty, Nick Farhi examines the history of gender construction from Hellenic times to Present Day. By portraying Jean-Paul Gaultier's perfume bottle with the reverence and monumentality reserved for marbled Greek torsos, the artist adds a sardonic take on the perpetuation of clichéd beauty ideals. Inspired by Morandi's monochromatic still-lifes and Luc Tuyman's calibration of precise and blurred brushstrokes, Farhi's 'Athenian Satchel (vessel)' is a smart, contemporary take on the complex, historic subject of gender ideals and the cult of beauty.
