EXCELLENCE DISCOVERY GREAT EMOTIONS

Welcome to our Summer issue

I’m thrilled to present our latest summer issue, dedicated to Roy Lichtenstein. In this edition, we pay homage to his groundbreaking contributions to the world of Pop Art, celebrating his colours and iconic comic book-inspired imagery.

I extend my deepest acknowledgements to the Lichtenstein Foundation for their invaluable assistance in developing this issue, honouring and preserving his cultural heritage.

We also shine a spotlight on two extraordinary photographers: David La Chapelle and Nicolas Bets. Renowned for their visual narratives, wit, humor, and profound cultural commentary.

In this issue, each photographer interprets Lichtenstein’s Pop Art aesthetic through their lens, infusing our fashion editorials with vibrant colours, bold graphics, and playful compositions. Curating our content around the theme of Pop Art, we find ourselves at the intersection of art, fash-ion, and technology in today’s digital age, with artificial intelligence (AI) as a contemporary visual tool. We reflect on its impact on the creative process and its potential to revolutionize the way we experience photography and art.

We’re excited to spotlight at the Venice Biennale the Shim Al project presenting artists from all over the world; the deep roots in the art of Julien Creuset, the first person of Caribbean descent to represent France at this internatonal event. Additionally, as contemporary art resonates with nature, we feature Duy Anh Nhan Duc, whose delicate approach to art adds another layer of depth and beauty to our exploration of creativity.

Each summer, we accompany renowned photographer Marco Tassini to the Cannes Film Festival. In the upcoming pages, you’ll find his latest captivating portraits, featuring iconic figures such as Francis Ford Coppola, Yorgos Lanthimos, Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, George Lucas, Meryl Streep, and more.

Welcome to the 2024 summer print issue of EDGE magazine, where art, fashion, and innovation collide in spectacular visions through the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of contemporary art and photography.
