Jeff Koons on Art and Self-Acceptance

In the powerful interview series by Jared Leto, Beyond The Horizon, artist Jeff Koons answers the question: 

Why Make Art?

Art is what lets the self find acceptance, to be able to move outward. And automatically as soon as you have self acceptance, it leads you to the acceptance of others.
— Jeff Koons

Artist Decoded: "Embracing & Loving Yourself" with Byron Spencer

With a body of work spanning fashion photograph, art, and film, Byron Spencer's origins in these fields began through experimentations in documenting the styles and eccentricities of the world around him. This led to his own fashion columns at the Sun Herald and Grazia Magazine. 

Transitioning into fashion photography, his highly visual and playful work has lent imagery to publications such as Vogue Italia, Dazed and Confused, i-D Magazine and many more.

Byron's advertisement campaigns include ASOS, Top Shop, Pierre Cardin, etc.

His work now expands itself into the realm of film and music, again experimenting and following an intuition that pushes his techniques and inspirations to create original and vibrant content.
