CHRISTOPHE SZKUDLAREK
Cluster Exhibitor | Cluster Illustration | Alternative Fair 2021
Christophe is graduated from a school of applied arts in Paris. He worked as a textile designer for fashion and furniture brands. He is therefore very sensitive to decorative arts, ornamental motifs and to the confrontation of colours and materials.
The experience that marked him the most is a romantic relationship that has nourished his recent inspiration. He is very influenced generally by social relationships, strange encounters who gives him envy and imagination. Music also feeds him a lot and makes his imagination vibrate in a very direct way.
He is currently working on the design of erotic visuals. They speak of attraction between two beings, romantic or sexual, of desire, otherness.
He engraves his drawing on paper or wood. he likes the idea of fixing a scene in burning a support, like the pyro engraving, like a tattoo on the skin.
The purpose of my work is to create a visual that expresses the idea of otherness inspired by a personal moment. When the idea is there, I work composition and colour in parallel until I find the best ones to express what he means. Many sketches made, and suddenly a mysterious click will allow me to finalize one... It’s quite magical!
