Alain Jones is an English pop art legend. And an image that still manages to provoke controversy at the age of 84, with its feminine sculptures, hierarchical, like the goddesses of Egyptian art, wearing the leather’s high heels.
Shoe designer Christian Louboutin, who left his red mark in the world of fashion, is reviewing his Paris exhibition last year, offering a new version at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco from July 9 to August 28. A fan of Alain Jones, this Egyptian art enthusiast wants to “give in to his paintings, to advance a certain idea of perfection.” Meet a very delicate gentleman whose statues all look like his wife, Deidre.
LE FIGARO. – Today, during #MeToo, are your sculptures more difficult to accept than during the rich years of London pop art?
Allen Jones. – No, I think each era has its limitations. Maybe it intensifies the controversy a bit. I really do not know…
