A painting of Leon Dame's hands holding a pair of red tango pumps inspired by the Spring Summer 2021 fashion collection of Maison Margiela titled 'S.W.A.L.K. II'.
The collection by John Galliano was aired on SHOWstudio in October 2020. The fashion film by Nick Knight expressed a sense of community, family values and generational exchange in the realm of tango. The underground tango dances of a village in Buenos Aires, the inspiration for this collection, hold many stories.
The painting is based on an image taken from a still from the S.W.A.L.K. II film by Nick Knight.
Acrylic, pen and pencil on paper (2020)
