Jan Bajtlik says:
“Animapolis” is my first Hermès “carré” (Spring/Summer 2019, 90x90 cm, silk, more than 40 colours printed in silkscreen, available in 10 colour versions). “Animapolis” is a surrealistic vision of the city overrun by nature and animals. City is inspired by architecture of Warsaw, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Kiev and New York. I had a dream where all animals and creatures from billboards and big inflatable advertisements came alive and dominate the city. Those who know Warsaw will find details referring to this city. My dog “Kluska” is one of the characters and is appearing 18 times. Usually it takes around 2 years to make a Hermès scarf starting from sketch to final product. Original maquette is 90x90 cm, painted with gouache, watercolour and acrylic paint. “Multicolour” version of the scarf is the closest to original drawing.
The story behind :
In this phantasmagorical city, zebras, dinosaurs, monkeys and toucans joyfully run riot. Each animal tells a story - a dragon lays siege to the Warsaw Palace of Culture and Science, a leopard sets its sights on the Kremlin in Moscow, and a panda and crocodile pass the time lounging at the foot of Moscow's St. Basil's Cathedral. And, for the very best view of this delightful spectacle, other protagonists gather at the windows of Hermes on Faubourg Saint-Honore in Paris. An exuberant composition, Animapolis is Jan Bajtlik's, a graduate of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, first silk scarf designed for Hermes.
