Painter and illustrator Emilie Record is kicked off her Shanghai debut "Hang Me Up" exhibit tuesday night at The Source.  Her studio-residence is conveniently located across from the editorial office. We were made awares via window manifesto:

We made the long, arduous journey across the alley to have coffee and cookies with Record in the funky home she shares with her fiancee, jazz musician Quentin Baquignon.

 

 

Canvasses are stacked against their living room walls, next to jugs full of paint brushes and a piano in the corner. Yeeep, definitely artists living there. 

Hang Me Up is all about trophy women. It's not feminist, Record said, it's about hunting for affection. She'll be showing the same series next month in Berlin.

Originally from France and trained as an architect, Record has devoted herself full-time to painting and design for about a year. She's been in Shanghai three years. Before, she lived in Vancouver and worked as an architect. But she first started exhibiting her art at age 10.

Hang Me Up will be at Source March 9 - 21. Checkout the work on Emilie's website.
