If anything. The phrase “less is more” best describes quintessential arts. “Luxe & minimalism” best describe the aesthetic. “In sync” best describes the chemistry between the people behind the scenes as well as the man before the camera and “decipher” is the name of the games we play. Prior to the release of the “Champagne Issue” the project was teased in the simplest yet enticing of ways, it was for the audience to decipher two definitions: “Le Champagne” -a word that’s a double entendre. “La Champagne” - a French region where the bubbly beverage is produced. This makes one thing all the more certain to the creative team and consumers, words aren’t just words, they account for 90% of the creative process and the remaining 10% is split between the sonic and visuals.
With the 2-year anniversary mark approaching, dubbing this collection the “Champagne Issue” and having Luc Belaire as a prop feels right taking into account the formation of the organization or it may have been too quick of a move to make - you decide.
ABOUT US
Quintessential Arts is an artistic organization that takes art to a broader spectrum, the name acts as something the organization stands for - the fifth essence, quintessential arts epitomizes what art is by recreating, reinventing, reiterating, and reinterpreting creations from previous centuries thereafter creating clothes which encode the ideas then decoding the ideas through the sonic.
Just like there is no religion without science and there isn't science without religion, as an organization working on several projects at one go quintessential arts is aware that without the sonic there are no garments and without the garments there is no sonic, lockscreens and other endeavors which set it apart from a typical artistic organization.
For quintessential arts the goal is to challenge the natural order of things, be the voice of reason and make those that don't identify with the status quo identify with it.
Many would assume there isn’t anything particularly astounding about the origins of the word ‘quintessential’ at a glance it is quite French and can be broken down into essential and then presumably essence. But what about the quint part? Think quintet or quintuplets. Quintessence literally means the ‘fifth essence’. Going back through medieval French to Latin, as quinta essential. It was used in classical and medieval philosophy to refer to: a fifth substance in addition to the four elements, thought to compose the heavenly bodies and to be latent in all things.
At heart quintessential arts is an organization that draws its inspiration from 90’s hip-hop culture and mythology.
