Description from the seller
About the series "Galaxy Advertising"
In Galaxy Advertising, Kobalt invents a language no one speaks, not even him. An improbable mix of spacey Cyrillic and Martian calligraphy vaguely Asian, this writing is supposed to be the most spoken in our galaxy… No point trying to translate it: it says nothing, yet it says it prettily. A cosmic wink to a communication from very, very far away, or just from another imagination...

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 designer, Kobalt discovers at a very young age his first passion, musical creation. This passion guides him in his youth, and his early talents lead him to take a bold decision: invest the money intended to fund his higher education into creating his first album.
Distributed by EMI, the album does not meet the expected success, but it marks the beginning of a rich artistic career full of experimentation.
Alongside his music career, Kobalt enters the advertising world as a copywriter 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 cinematographer, thus exploring a new facet of the visual world. In 2007, he develops a passion for photography, adding another artistic string to his bow. In 2010, he successfully founds his own photo 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 world street art. A pioneer of computer-assisted art creation, Kobalt distinguishes himself with more than 3000 works sold in galleries and online to this day.
His artistic approach is marked by bold uses of humor, provocation and anachronisms, with a particular penchant for misappropriating magazine covers—a style that makes him instantly recognizable.
Despite the digital era, Kobalt has chosen to stay on the margins of social networks, 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.
