PARISHOUSE

The name Paris House was originally created by my grandfather, Cohus Paris in 1934 for his jewellery business. My father Michael Paris, a watchmaker, continued his father’s tradition until his death in 2002. It is with a sense of pride and commitment that I continue the legacy of care and quality associated with the Paris House name.
As a conceptual artist I find inspiration in artists such as Gavin Turk (UK)- who entertains the press by showing up to interviews disguised as people other than himself and Jenny Holzer (USA)- who likes to place truisms, for example “dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective” on electronic billboards in Times Square.
