DECADENCE
"Hollywood's favourite photographer". Tyler Sheilds is famous for working with L.A's 'hippest' and producing work that loudly claims to be 'subversive'. His current show at the Maddox gallery in Mayfair London draws a crude parallel between the rich and famous today and the court of Marie Antoinette.
It may not be intellectually thrilling but it does look to be quite visually pretty. Because it is a riff on the excessive lifestyles of Marie Antoinette and co, modelled by a cast of beautiful Hollywood actors and shot in Versailles, it does involve some nice colours and styling.
Look beyond the rather obvious tongue in cheek meaning and enjoy some picturesque scenes.
