Candyass
Thu, 23 Jul 2009I stumbled across the New York home of artist Cary Leibowitz (also known as Candyass) and was floored. This guy is nuts, in a totally bold, pop art, colourful and graphic way. And I love it. Candyass is bad-ass. I love people who don't follow rules.

wow Kim, what a cool, cool place!
Talk about stimulating rooms. Loads of color and fun.
Wow, this house is like a total sensory experience. I could never pull it off and wouldn't want to live there full-time, but what a rockin' house it is.
I love it - next time my husband tells me I have too many pictures on the wall I will show him this...
Crrrrrazy...but very creative! I love it too...This must be a very happy person..lots and lots of self expression here..I've gotta do something like this. Somewhere. Even if its in my closet!
So awesome! I bet this guy has fabulous dinner parties. The area above the mantle where he painted "you're fat" made me laugh out loud. Love it.
Wicked!
WOW, that is a new meaning of POP art!
I absolutely LOVE it!!! OMG, I love people who decorate this way, no rules...but so much fun! Kind of the way I decorate.:) Great post!
when i see amazing houses like this i wonder why so many people just want white white white!!
great blog by the way
oh. it give me a headache.
Love the mix of color in all of his rooms. This guy is Pop Art for sure. Us in Miami need someone like him.
haha. These are hilarious! Like a scavenger hunt.... find the penis picture.......I especially like the image of the firplace with a sub sandwich on it and all the oversized booze! This guy must be so much fun!
I thought the girl in panties was bad...until I got to the penis picture! I did like the sign that said "keep forks on the floor". It would be a fun place to visit!
I like his guts to do his home like this !! quite revolting, and inspiring at the same time !
that lightbulb light is simply stunning!
Hahaha! I was going "where's the giant penis? I can't see the penis" because I was too engrossed in the baseball cards and jeans bedspread. See decor wins over porn every time for me. I must say though does Candyass own enough Warhols?
I'm in color shock! These spaces are so extreme and awesome! wow... what it must feel like to live in that type of beautiful chaos...
These are such crazy interiors, but yet so inspiring and fascinating! Thumbs up:)
I love this! I couldn't live with it but I love to see something so fun and different.
This would be a really fun house to be a guest at!
what a stunning and fascinating home!I would like to have all this courage!!
A giant crotch in the living room! ROFL! That IS extreme! I love this style, because it's like luxurious eclecticism. It's funky but still looks expensive and tasteful...not an easy look to pull off. I am totally going to use this as inspiration in future project...not the giant crotch though! ROFL
My oh my. So bold... So graphic... So fantastic. Thanks for sharing this space.
How amazing! So many great things going on I don't even know where to start. The wallpaper- my god- that wallpaper! Amazing. Thanks! :)
