DUBAI: Iconic recently hosted Art Couture's 'SKETCHES OF A DANCER', Art & Coffee event of the year which had famed French artist Corine Pagny sketch the model in a LIVE from Life art session.
This rare and memorable Art & Coffee event focused on The Dance pose taking the viewer beyond the surface appearance of the human form to the underlying truth revealed in movement. She developed a personal figurative aesthetic about the human being which finds fulfillment in the themes of Dance and movement, with meaning underlined in the gestures.
ICONIC is a unique fashion store that believes in the connection between Fashion and art and joins hands with Art Couture gallery to bring you a fun, learning art experience. The model wears designer ICONIC styles as she poses for this event.
Corine has through her drawings achieved a flow of dialogue between model and artist, the trace of vitality on paper as form and gesture are linked with every stroke of the artist's brush.
