Alexander de Cadenet - Medici Skull Portrait Series with West Contemporary - Alexander de Cadenet - Lorenzo the Magnificent - Everyone Sees What You Really Are
show info
Italia Architecture Portrait People Celebrity Endorsement Artist

During London’s forthcoming Art Fair week (12th - 16th October 22) at the Saatchi Gallery StART Fair - British artist Alexander de Cadenet with his Gallery of representation- Space 4.1- West Contemporary will present a new series of incredible skull portraits of powerful, historical - Medici Family. De Cadenet who is well known for his photographic "skull portraits" and also his meteorite and Life Burger sculptures that featured none other than Donald Trump, will present this incredible new series of portraits based on the photos of the skulls from the Medici Family tomb in Florence, taken by Professor Gena in 1947 when the Michelangelo tomb sculptures were removed for safekeeping during WW2. Subjects include the actual remains of Lorenzo the Magnificent, Cosimo the Elder, Cosimo I, Eleanor of Toledo, Giovanni di Bicci de Medici. It’s the fifth series of skulls and the first time actual photos have been used as opposed to x-rays, and that the remains have will be released into the public domain on a wide scale other than in medical books. De Cadenet’s first skull portrait was a self-portrait made in 1995 and based on a full frontal x-ray of his skull. It was a way to show who the subjects were inside as opposed to how they appeared on the surface. He endeavours to capture the deeper essence of the subject's identity independent of the criteria we normally use to identify someone: their unique facial features, their age, sex or socio-economic status. His previous subjects for his skull portraits have included various personalities including MI5 spymaster Stella Rimington and snooker champion Stephen Hendry, Richard III and the Gucci family to name just a few. He also crafted x-ray portraits of a vast portfolio of people including artist Dinos Chapman, rapper Mike Skinner. The process of these portraits involves not just taking a photo of them but going through the whole X-ray process of the skull that records a whole further dimension of their identity as oppose to just a simple photographs. The quotes that feature on the works have either been said at some point by the family members or are someway associated with them. This series is the first to present a whole family dynasty of subjects, family being one of the principle ways in which we construe identity during life and afterwards. All the remains came from the Medici Tomb in the New Sacristy, designed and in part created by Michelangelo and commissioned by Pope Leo X and Pope Clement VII (both Medici family). The Medici are most significant in that they utilized and understand the value of art and culture to create their legend, this is in part why they are credited for creating the Renaissance – some of them especially the more famous ones sought to be remembered many years after their mortal death. In this sense their skull and their physical remains are also symbolic of what about them has lasted 300-600 years later. De Cadenet comments: "It’s fascinating to me that as an artist I can contribute in a small way to the ongoing legacy of the subjects, this is for me one of the more meaningful purposes of portraiture in that there is some transcendence from the finality and depressing nihilism of death. I also enjoy the paradox of presenting “who the subject really is inside” yet this also can be a mask, as you cannot recognise the person by looking at their skull. Ultimately all my art is about exploring what is giving my life meaning and on this subject, a contemplation of mortality is a chance for deeper spiritual contemplation and questioning. The skull portraits can even hint at the more meta-physical dimension, the soul. What happens to the soul after death? Can the living still impact the souls of the departed? Maybe art can have some part to play in these eternal questions”.
