THIS IS HUMAN: NYFW BY ASHLEY ROSE COURTURE & RYAN MATTHEW COHN

February 2018

“This is Human” is inspired by the works of Hieronymus Bosch.

“Bosch remains one of the most notable apocalyptic painters of the world and one of art’s first visionary geniuses. Hieronymus Bosch is most celebrated for his detail-drenched and symbolic narrative renditions of the dance between heaven and hell through biblical-themed landscapes upon which play a revolving cast of fantastical, and often macabre humans, animals, monsters, and make-believe creatures. His paintings demonstrate our age-old tales of morality and the eventual fate of all sinners who succumb to the pleasures and perversity of the ego. These timeless stories, masterfully portrayed upon canvas in Bosch’s impeccably steady hand, continue to challenge interpretation as well as position the artist as one of the canon’s first original thinkers.”

Set Design and Museum is curated by Ryan Matthew Cohn.
