Shoosty’s Royal Goliathus Beetles are patterns designed for royalty. The Goliathus Beetle is the largest beetle in the world (apx 5”). A scarab it was revered in ancient Egypt as a symbol of rebirth and transformation. The artist filled it with a modified versions of the patterns created by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin 1812-1852.
The artist is exploring the relationship between art, history, and icons, technology and fashion. He coined the term Chromatic-fusion™, fusing the science of color and printing with humanity to describe it.
Compare Shoosty to the famous designer Pucci, both designers using silk as a medium. They both create colorful and vibrant patterns that can be displayed of worn.
Shoosty’s patterns are more complex and detailed then Pucci. Pucci’s patterns are more simple and geometric. He uses abstract themes that create a sense of harmony and balance. When you compare the tools each of the designers use you can quickly see how they diverge. Pucci draws with paper, pencil and watercolors. Shoosty uses traditional materials and all the digital tools of the 21st century. Their methods are lightyears apart.
