AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Imagine a world where Earth becomes the crossroads of wonders: superheroes breathe there, aliens stroll there, and distant galaxies find a familiar sparkle there...

About the series "Galaxy Advertising"

Designed and intended for neighboring galaxies, this series gives birth to a form of intergalactic communication, as if what happens here deserves to be relayed elsewhere...

Thus, for this series, Kobalt invents a language that no one speaks, not even him. An improbable mix of weightless Cyrillic and Martian calligraphy vaguely Asian, this writing is supposed to be the most spoken in neighboring galaxies… No need to try translating it: it says nothing, yet it says it prettily. A cosmic wink to a communication from very, very far away... or just from another imaginary world.

Biography:

Kobalt, born in Paris in 1970, embodies the journey of a protean artist whose creativity has unfolded from electronic music to contemporary graphic art. Coming from a family where art was already present thanks to his father, a designer, Kobalt discovers his first passion very early: music creation. This passion guides him in his youth, and his early talents lead him to make a bold decision: invest the money intended to fund his higher education in creating his first album.

Distributed by EMI, the album does not meet the expected success, but it marks the beginning of a richly experimental artistic career.

Parallel to his musical career, Kobalt enters the world of advertising as a designer/writer for the iconic magazine Playboy. For many years, he puts his creativity at the service of the publication, creating and producing the magazine’s advertising campaigns.

The turning point in his career comes in 2005 when he becomes a cameraman, thus exploring a new facet of the visual world. In 2007, he discovers a passion for photography, adding another artistic string to his bow. In 2010, he successfully founds his own photography agency, highlighting his entrepreneurial spirit.

In 2017, Kobalt makes a radical choice to sell his agency to fully embrace graphic art, influenced by his son, who has become a major figure in global street art. A pioneer of computer-assisted artistic creation, Kobalt stands out with nearly 3000 works sold in galleries and online to date.

His artistic approach is marked by bold use of humor, provocation, and anachronisms, with a particular penchant for appropriating magazine covers, a style that makes him instantly recognizable.

Despite the digital era, Kobalt has chosen to stay away from social networks, thus preserving a certain privacy. Today, he uses all available digital tools to bring his creations to life, continuing to push the boundaries of artistic expression with a subtle blend of inspiration, innovation, and humor.
