Alicia Framis (1967, ES) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice blends architecture, design, fashion and performance. Her work is project based and focuses on different aspects of human existence within contemporary urban society.
In the past years, this has resulted in numerous fashion collections with a message, introducing new ways of demonstration for women to fight for equality in silence. Framis reminds us how important is to dress with a message. The vulnerable message that the dresses shown here express, is almost like being naked. Today more than ever we need dressed up banners to give our point of view on what is happening in the world, says Framis, and to fight for our future and conditions of life on earth. Framis invites us to action. Not only are the paintings an expression of our being, of a vital moment in our life, but they are also a way to express that art must be a way to socialize with others and be part of a discourse that concerns us.
