Tribute to DAVID BOWIE
Exhibition at Carré Doré Monte-Carlo from the16th of December 2016 - 31st of January 2017
Curator: Flavia Cannata
The Carré Doré gallery monte-Carlo pays its tribute to David Bowie.
The exhibition is entirely dedicated to the extraordinary pop icon - one of the most audacious, influential, and innovative artist of the contemporary musical world. A chameleon par excellence, a visionary, extremely attentive to all new trends. Through this exhibition, we aim to express our love and admiration for the artist who, throughout his 5 decades of stardom, was able to keep up with the changing times, all while staying true to himself and his fans. The gallery has gathered several artists who were able to observe and reinterpret the creative process of the White Duke. Their pieces show just how much his work has penetrated and impacted the wide range of creative fields like art, fashion, photography, design, theatre and contemporary culture in general. Ziggy Stardust has left an permanent mark on visual pop culture.
"Bowie has managed to stay relevant throughout the constant shift of eras and trends, a trend-setting icon that has influenced the taste and the style of various generations. I could never imagine another artist who could have done in many lifetimes what he did in 50 years. »
Maurizio Di Maggio Journalist and speaker at RMC

Gianni Molaro
GIANNI MOLARO was born in 1966, in San Giuseppe Vesuviano, Italy. At 20 years old,
Gianni Molaro made his debut in the world of high fashion. His work as a couturier is
inspired by classical art masters from the XVII-XVIII centuries, as well as by modern art -
Dalí's surrealism especially. His work gradually penetrated the two complementary worlds
of Art and of Fashion. Gianni Molaro's creations form part of various prestigious private
collections, and are also displayed in museums. The city of Naples itself has been
transformed on many occasions into a stage for his extraordinary
"FashionArt performances". Celebrities such as Sophia Loren, Ilona Staller (Cicciolina),
Amanda Lear and Amy Stewart form part of Gianni's ardent admirers, and have often served
as muses for the artist.
Gianni Molaro's new creative forms have sparked the interest of many modern art critics,
who rate his innovations very highly: Fashion-Sculptures (usually made from bronze) and
Sculpture-paintings made of fabric.
Molaro's work with bridal fashion was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records a
total of 3 times: For the longest bridal veil in the world, the largest wedding gown in the
world, and finally the most expensive wedding gown in the world, made with over 7000
diamonds.
Our exhibition features his work "The Gossip Girls", the fabric-made counterpart of his
fashion-sculpture of the same name, which was exhibited in 1999 in the Capitoline
museum in Naples during one of his notorious city-wide fashion performances.

Michael Edery
Having created his first drawing at the age of 4, this Marseille born artist imposes his style through each of his works, inviting us into universes full of wonder and color. With perfect control of the paint brush, he makes captivating individual portraits, reconstructed film scenes, or portrays how our everyday lives can be lived lived by characters from different eras.
His inspirations are as much of an aftermath of cinema, as of songs, fashion and culture.
The characters come alive through the canvas as we turn our attentionto their attitude, faces, smiles, which are punctuated by words, slogans, phrases.
Michael Edery created a way to travel across generations through art. Distinguishing himself from street art or graffiti, he seems to breathe life into Pop Art, with a movement that fluctuates between modernity and past riches.
