WES LANG’S Heroes of Love.

LA-based artist Wes Lang has showcased his series of 96 paintings and 96 drawings titled "The Black Paintings" at Damien Hirst's Newport Street Gallery in London. The paintings serve as storyboards for a fictional horror film featuring undead characters called "the heroes." Lang collaborated with GQ on a fashion shoot inspired by the paintings and discusses the inspiration behind his work and its connection to love and unity. The drawings in the series explore the concept of love further, drawing from Lang's study of the Tao. The article also mentions Loïc Desmonts and his family-owned workshop, Ateliers Desmonts, being chosen to rebuild the roof of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris using traditional woodworking techniques. The project involved sourcing suitable timber from forests across Normandy and the Loire Valley and collaborating with Ateliers Perrault. The reconstructed roof reflects the dedication and craftsmanship of the artisans involved.
