The triad of narcissism, exhibitionism, and voyeurism.
Michael Souter is a painter, photographer and graphic designer who works and resides in New York City. He is best known for NARCISSIST, his one-man show, exhibited at the Bronx Museum of Art in 2005 - a unique series of "Daggers", "Wraps" and "Mirrors" in which he uses unconventional pairings of acrylic, typographical elements, photographic images, reflective surfaces and etched text, to reveal - with the emotive intensity of one who has first-hand experience - the anger, pain and humiliation of a narcissistic relationship. Sam Vaknin, author of "Malignant Self-Love - Narcissism Revisited", as well as the plays and movies of Neil LaBute were major influences on this series of work titled "Narcissist."
The product line extracts edited imagery and dialogue from the exhibition "Narcissist". Provocative, sarcastic, arrogance. Applied to fashion, fragrance and stationary.
