In line with enSoie’s long-standing tradition of artist designed foulards, Bruno Zhu has designed a scarf with voluptuous lipstick kisses forming a somewhat wobbly heart surrounded by an elegant Cocteau-like line. The kiss- or its lipstick trace- serves both as mark as well as pictorial signature that has become a repetitive gesture in Zhu’s works and is– more or less obviously – also a play on the artist’s name. A regular guest at Saalhof’s country house in Alsace, the similarities between the French word for kiss „bisou“ and the English pronunciation of the artist’s signature „B.Zhu“ came up in one of many excited conversations at the fireplace on love, life and artistic production.
Today, the artist’s kiss appears on exhibition posters, displays and texts or as a formal element in his on-going series of delicate collages. Always also having taken an interest in paraphernalia and the commercialization of artistic processes, Bruno Zhu’s bisou has become a signature feature for his contributions to the shops of museums and places he exhibits- from mugs in Lisbon’s Gulbenkian Foundation, to candles in Antwerp’s Museum of contemporary art – and now, very proudly, SAALHOF 1123’s L’Esprit collection.
L’Esprit is
inspired by a slow summer in the countryside and brings together special
collaborations with artists, designers and brands including Aglagla, Sonnhild Kestler, Maison Metzger, Cassidy Toner and enSoie.
