A Force of Gravity
International fashion label COS presents their first collaboration in Israel with local installation artist Ohad Benit. Check out 'Down to Earth' at the Fresh Paint Art Fair’s Gallery Weekend
Those who are fans of the London-based cult fashion brand COS will enjoy an extra special addition to the Fresh Paint Art Fair this year. The brand, which has become known for its high quality closet staples that reinvent classic cuts with perfectly poised draping in an elegant color palette, is melding their design aesthetic with Israeli design innovator Ohad Benit. COS has supported the arts since the launch of the brand through collaborations with established and emerging artists, galleries and creative studios, including joint work with The Serpentine Galleries, The Guggenheim New York, Frieze London and New York and Design Miami and with artists such as Snarkitecture, Sou Fujimoto, Studio Swine, The Donald Judd Foundation and AFSO / ANDRÉ FU.
Benit specializes in conceptual art and design with an emphasis on experiential environment and art product design, ranging from concept to product through space design. He is at home on the seam between art and design, creating a symbiotic message between the two approaches. "I find myself standing on the thin line between art and design, to explain my voice I would like to talk about how I see the difference between them."
