I spent a year painting a series of slightly askew portraits of confrontational weirdos. So much of my personal work is about getting things out of my system to make room for something new, some are experiments to see if I can. by @garycard

Set design becomes a form of storytelling in @GaryCard’s hands, where surreal landscapes, playful absurdity, and sculptural imagination transform every space into a world of its own. Over the past two decades, the London-based artist, illustrator, sculptor, and set designer has developed one of contemporary fashion’s most distinctive visual languages, collaborating with visionaries including @CommedesGarcons, @LadyGaga, @TimWalker, and many others.

Moving effortlessly between commercial commissions and an independent art practice, Card has become known for creating immersive environments that blur the boundaries between fashion, fine art, and performance. In our conversation, he reflects on creative freedom, the delicate balance between personal and commissioned work, and the collaborations that have shaped his extraordinary career.

Table manors - a devoted young girl cradles the hands of an old witch, a scientist conceals something from his fatigued wife, while a man sings. Another piece from my latest story for @luncheonmagazine by @garycard

Meet the parents. Another one from ‘Sweet Relief’, more of my masking tape sculpture for the latest issue of @luncheonmagazine -

‘This project marks a big leap forward for my technique, both in ambition and complexity. The pieces themselves became exercises in story telling. After a few years of concentrating on single characters, I thought it was time to experiment with scenes exploring relationships between characters- a devoted young girl cradles the hands of an old witch, a man conceals something from his fatigued wife, a disapproving couple stares down at their daughter and her suspicious new boo. A soldier robs a clown while he in turn gets robbed by his clown accomplice. Small narrative motifs created for no other reason than to see if I could do it, to see how far I can push that stubborn sticky tape’

Here’s the first shot from my new story ‘Sweet Relief’ for the latest issue of @luncheonmagazine -

‘By the time this story comes out it will be 30 years since I started creating work with masking tape, three decades of cultivating this peculiar sculpting method into sculptures, sets, masks, headpieces and costumes for the likes of Comme Des Garcons, FKA Twigs and Lady Gaga, to name a couple. But surely there’s a better, more practical way of making things? Nope! For whatever reason, not for me.

There’s an unyielding defiance to the building process that I seem to be attracted to, willing this stubborn sticky paper into shapes it doesn’t want to be shaped into. It’s fiddly and frustrating work, and yet I’m compelled to carry on. The material doesn’t even like me,
I use so much of the stuff that the adhesive glue builds up a residue on my hands, reacting with my skin and thickening my fingertips into calloused caps, making everything I touch for the next month feel unbearable, it’s not painful or anything, it just gives me the ick, and yet I persist. I know I should move on and explore new methods, it’s not like I haven’t tried, I’ve sculpted with everything from polystyrene to chewing gum, just last year I spent 3 months in Jingdezhen, the ceramic capital of China, on a residency creating my first series of ceramic sculptures, And yet no matter how much I develop my sculpting practices, I always come back to my beloved tape. So to hell with it, I guess I’ll keep moving on with my awkward union. and if i will persist on ruining my hands for this work then the work itself better be worth it. I’ll let you be the judge. ‘
