Dcode 04 in Venice’s exhibition.
Gerard Puxhe is one of the winners of the ITSLIQUID International Contest – 7th Edition 2020 with his graphic illustration Dcode 04.
The international Jury, composed by prestigious personalities of the contemporary art, architecture, design and fashion scenes, of ITSLIQUID International Contest – 7th Edition 2020 has selected 11 winners and 8 honourable mentions, among the hundreds of submissions, following the criteria of quality of the works, originality and uniqueness.
As a winner, his Dcode 04 illustration has been exhibited as part of the Fragmented Identities 2020 exhibition organized by Itsliquid Group in Venice, at The ROOM Contemporary Art Space. The piece was one of the winners of the International Contest they previously launched.
This year the festival focused on the concept of “borders”, between the soul and the body, the human being and the city, the city and the ground. The festival analyzed the idea of human and urban borders, how people live them and how they are modified in contemporary society. Every human being lives in a world in which the limits, the borders, shape their attitudes and behaviors, limiting the freedom and creating a sense of alienation. The human being reacts breaking the limits and finding a new way of life. We imagine a world of “liquid cities”, where differences create new possibilities instead of being social barriers.
The contest, with a free theme, was divided into ten categories: painting, photography, video-art, sculpture and installation, performing art, architecture, product design, fashion design, illustration and drawing, computer graphic. The contest is born to promote contemporary art, photography, architecture, design and fashion through all ITSLIQUID Platform sharing tools.
Dcode 04 illustration exhibited in Venice’s exhibition is a limited edition (25 pcs) digital illustration of 50x50cm designed by Gerard Puxhe. You can purchase Dcode 04 in Venice and prints on the online shop.

Yohji Yamamoto

I do have many references and I’d like to introduce them to you little by little in this section, starting with Yohji Yamamoto.
Yohji Yamamoto has always been the one to me. He’s a living icon, capable to create not only his unique brand but two. Y-3 was the first high fashion sport brand.
The concept he created along side with Adidas is today copied by many. Besides liking or not his designs (which I love), what I really admire is the way he created two brands with a unique language.
Although Yamamoto’s work changed and evolved over the next two decades, it retained several key elements- the ambiguities of gender, the importance of black, and the aesthetics of deconstruction.
“When I started making clothes for my line Y’s in 1977, all I wanted was for women to wear men’s clothes. I jumped on the idea of designing coats for women. It meant something to me- the idea of a coat guarding and hiding a woman’s body. I wanted to protect the woman’s body from something- maybe from men’s eyes or a cold wind.”
A brand help us to identify ourselves with an aesthetic which leads to a lifestyle, an identity. Creativity, functionality, simplicity, harmony defines what design and beauty is to me.
5 things about Yohji Yamamoto
Born: In 1943 at Tokyo.
Family: 2 children Limi Feu, Yuji Yamamoto
Education: Keio University, Bunka Fashion College
His debut: In 1977 launched his debut collection, Y’s, in Tokyo.
