ROLLOVER TO ENLARGE
For hundreds of years, The Four Vices have been depicted in a myriad of art forms. These cuff links represent Gary Taxali's re-imagination of the traditional gentleman's vices of women, liquor, cards, and horses. Taxali, whose artistic style is reminiscent of a bygone era, treats this subject matter in a cheeky and refreshing way, presenting the vices with a modern twist. As Taxali says, "Like a good vice, cuff links never go out of style."
In the words of Gary Taxali himself, "It began with what I think is the first and most powerful vice: women. As they say, 'the picture says it all'." Teetering between perverse adoration and hapless desperation, Taxali's depiction of the vice "women" is at once brilliant, honest, and humorous.
