James Andrew - photo Christian Fuchs
The wildly talented Peruvian based artist Christian Fuchs and I spent a perfect autumnal Sunday this past weekend, strolling amidst the leaves in Central Park where he snapped this lovely portrait.
Over a fortifying brunch at Orsay, Fuchs shared his latest projects and ventures. He’s been quite busy in fact since the WIJW piece we did on him in 2011, with exhibitions at Pulse Miami, Scope Miami, and a handful of other art fairs including ARTBO: the Feria Internacional de Arte de Bogotá. He’s had exhibitions in Germany, Iran, Croatia, Costa Rica, and has shown at the Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago de Chile!

Imbued with a thick atmosphere of highly expressive nostalgia that verges on the surreal, Fuchs’ heavily manipulated work harks back to the turn of the century experiments in Pictorialism championed by such photographic groups as the Photo-Secessionists led by Stieglitz. Certainly there is more than a touch of German Romanticism to Fuchs’ aesthetic as well!

The classic Fuchs portrait of me (top) conveys an interesting Bavarian / gothic revival sort of vibe I think. I’m wearing a vintage Lodenfrey loden cape, amber wool and silk challis paisley scarf, Uniqlo brown cashmere turtleneck sweater and slim jeans, Tom Ford brown leather tasseled loafers, vintage Rolex and my fragrance is Tom Ford, Oud.

James Darling! I can´t believe he is back! I am in NY these days! Let´s meet, I would love to see his work, looking for some new things to put in my living room!
Kisses,
Christiane
Amazing work love it!
Dear James, Christian Fuchs is a genius, the atmosphere of his landscapes and portraits is otherworldly!
James you look amazing, he really captured your essence!
Mesmerizing pictures which seem from another world. Christian is an artist who gives a different perspective! His pictures transfer me into another magical century! Bravo!
Well my Dear Christiane,
I cannot imagine anything more sublime than these peacocks!!!
So much so that I had to have one for myself!
Cheers
JA
Fuchs’s portrait of you seems to be from another century, wonderful mood James! Excellent photographic art!

My Darling Mara ,
“Other Wordly” is certainly one of my favorite ways to describe Fuchs’ works.
These highly romanticized images would certainly raise the level of most interiors to the sublime!
Cheers

My Dear Tom Cavendish,
Fuchs has a brilliant knack at finding the most perfect light and then with his masterful manipulation of color - he creates something rather sublime!
Cheers
JA
Darling Baroness von Schleinitz,
Yes Fuchs’ images transport us to another era- which is certainly part of his magic!
Much Love and All Best,
JA
Darling Karena,
Apparantly I am quite an old soul- been around forever- so perhaps Fuchs has just captured a bit of that via his sublime photos!
Much Love
JA
My dearest James,

My Dear Friend Christian Fuchs,
If only you were in NYC more often- imagine all the exquisite images we could create together!
Much Love and All Best,
