The 28-year-old artist is the newly minted face of Gucci’s Mémoire d’Une Odeur.
—it seems more than fitting. “My name was Opal Desdemona and I would blow bubbles, do face paint, and dress up however I wanted. I had glitter on my face for like four years straight.”
Though she still indulges in a well-placed smattering of shimmer—a sparkling streak for a roller-skating party in L.A.; lilac-rhinestoned lids during—these days, Papademetropoulos, who’s shown her dreamscape paintings, videos, and installations at Frieze, The Park Avenue Armory, and The Underground Museum, prefers an above-the-neck equation that’s more Old Hollywood than enchanted nymph.
With an eye towards the past, however, she’s ultimately looking forward: There’s a solo show in Athens next month, followed by a presentation in Miami during Art Basel, and an exhibit at the Vito Schnabel Gallery in St. Moritz in June. As she puts it: “Lots and lots of art shows... and hopefully lots of Gucci along the way, too.”
