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: Comics series

In this series, iconic heroes step out of their mythic roles to enter scenes where they would never have belonged. Flirting with irreverence, humor and a hint of politics, these images reveal the fragile, human side of legendary characters...

Biography:

Kobalt, born in Paris in 1970, embodies the path of a polymath 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 draftsman, Kobalt discovered very early his first passion: musical creation.

This passion guides him in his youth, and his early talents lead him to make a bold decision: to invest the money destined to fund his higher education into creating his first album. Distributed by EMI, the album did not meet the anticipated success, but it marked the beginning of a richly experimental artistic career.

Alongside his musical career, Kobalt enters the world of advertising as a copywriter for the iconic Playboy magazine. For many years, he put his creativity at the service of the publication by creating and producing the magazine's advertising campaigns.

A turning point 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 founded 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 art, Kobalt stands out with more than 3,000 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 subverting magazine covers, a style that makes him instantly recognizable.

Despite the digital era, Kobalt has chosen to stay off 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.
