30 Aug - 28 Sept 2025
Fashion illustrator and artist Floris Felix captures the flamboyant glamour of designer Fong Leng and her iconic muse Mathilde Willink — legends of Amsterdam’s 1970s art and fashion scene. His striking illustration is part of a personal triptych, all on view at the exhibition.
"The first drawing is a tribute to my grandfather, who once ran a fashion studio. Though I never knew him personally, I feel a connection to his distinctive drawing style—his name was Felix, like mine.
The second illustration draws inspiration from Fong Leng and Mathilde Willink. Mathilde, of course, was the muse of Carel Willink, and encountering her story was my first experience of the dynamic between artist and muse. For me, muses are primarily the women in my life—they are an endless source of inspiration. Mathilde embodies a striking presence, while Fong Leng shaped much of my early work when I began my artistic journey in Amsterdam.
The third illustration centers on a dollhouse and references Viktor & Rolf. It reflects the period when I was working as an artist in Paris on a commissioned project. What captivates me about their work is the seamless blend of art and fashion, a balance I strive for in my own practice. The dollhouse serves as a symbol of precision and refinement, while also evoking playfulness and imagination."
