art imitating life

Wed, 02/13/08 — 01:03:00 AM

>> Although Sasha Pivovarova only walked in one show — Anna Sui — last week, she had another, more personal show on her mind.  On Friday, Sasha hosted "I Spy" in New York, her first ever photography and drawing exhibition.  Her artwork has been published in Vogue, Teen Vogue, and Vogue Paris before, and she works with mediums as farfetched as wine and coffee.  Yes, that's right, models do have lives other than getting their hair, nails, and makeup done 1,343,234 times a day . . . and, from what I can gather, Sasha likes self-portraits.

She strikes me as very narcissistic. The drawings are really crap, they look like the stuff we did freshman year of high school to avoid doing real art. I saw an interview with her and she seemed to like talking about why photographers liked her, something about her face. Pretty dull.

Um...Her work is trash. She can't draw and has no sense of light in her work. The only reason she has a show is because she's a model. Kids half her age can draw better than that.

Is this still on? If it is, where is it? It does look amazingly self-centered and not-so-artistic, but I still want to see it in person! Haha... I'm going to NYC the 20th so I'd totally go...

I don't know, she'll always be the poor mans Gemma to me. There's just something so...mangy about her?
She doesn't look lean or willowy, just...unhealthy. And her portraits are cool, once. 200 sasha portraits in lipstick/charcoal/whatever? Thanks, i'll pass.www.knittingalovesong.blogspot.com

did she whip these out in 10 minutes?
connections are connections and art is subjective, but it's still alittle sad that mediocre student drawings are getting more attention then something of actual quality.

To be totally honest the drawings are rubbish. The photographs are unimaginative.
Why can't people these days stick to what they do best? Great model, bad artist.

i really liked the photos but these are very sketchy i agree with julia, they're drawings of a very beautiful person, she has a haunting face and it's nice to look at. the drawing up there doesn't even look finished, looks like a quick sketch taken out of a sketchbook and blown up in size. but i do enjoy them.

come on. anyone who has had decent visual art training can tell that these are all terrible. the only thing that makes you want to look at them is that they're pictures of a beautiful person. mediocre pictures of a beautiful person.

1. I wonder if she always looks that insane in person. She scares me sometimes.2. The self-portrait kind of looks like Gemma, no? Check the left eye!

My friend and I saw her at Bed Bath and Beyond during the time that the Marc Jacobs show was prepping and starting and we wondered why she was not there.Well, she was looking at blenders with her Russian guy friend. She did not seem very happy about it either.

I'm not crazy about the photographs, but I like this charcoal (?) drawing.

well, wine and coffee isnt so far fetched if you think about the things art students do now. but anyways i am a big fan of her drawings!! i really LOVE them!! not so much her photography, but her drawings are superb! its soo interesting to see her in this state (pic above), she looks so messy yet ambitious and hard working; she looks like an artist! well done sasha, well done!!
