I bring art where I go

Paola Pivi is known for taking indentifiable objects and modifying them to challenge her audience to change their point of view. She plays with scale, material, and color - often taking an animal and giving it a human like demeanor. A common subject is polar bears, like this baby bear created uniquely for the Just Phriends auction, which take on human activities - yoga for example, or engagement with other bears. This work, sprouting pink multicolored feathers, has a Chanel loafer in his mouth which belonged to Pharrell Williams.
