Hanging Paintings By Tadao Cern

Inspired by various fabric combinations, ‘Hanging Paintings’ consists of brand new garments and scraps of material that are arranged, draped and wrapped around a simple metal rack, which serves as a canvas.
These creative and minimalist installations are created in various arrangements by using colorful pieces of dyed wool which are draped loosely over a metal frame. This unique project came to him as a vision, inspired by a memory of a clothing combination or a childhood memory of his mother’s coat hanging in a closet. He aimed to examine human love for dressing up and to define this fascination in an unconventional art form. ‘Every single piece that I did for these series felt like a revelation to me and I keep doing them over and over again,’ Cern explains. ‘What I love about them the most is that they are absolutely good-for-nothing object and that nobody ever wore them and nobody will,’ he added.
