Say hello to Chloe Wise, the Montreal-born artist behind that Chanel Bagel Bag (you know, the cheeky “knock-off” that model India Menuez wore to a fancy Chanel dinner last year that totally discombobu­lated the fashion pack). This Canuck living in NYC is all about making art with a sense of humour, classifyin­g her work as “mixed-media-Canadian-Jew-brat-comedy-art.” What does this look like most of the time? Think a series of designer bags made out of breakfast foods (like Pancakes No. 5, shown here), a bacon sculpture called Star of Larry David and a meta-selfie portrait series—all of which have earned her two solo shows and she hasn’t even reached her 25th birthday.
