Description from the seller
About the series "Galaxy Announcements"\n\nIn Galaxy Announcements, 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 our galaxy… No need to try translating it: it says nothing, yet it says it nicely. A cosmic wink to a communication coming from very, very far away... or just from another imaginary world.\n\nGalactic Announcements gathers posters announcing terrestrial events that are significant enough to be relayed on a galactic scale, turning these events into unexpected attractions for intergalactic tourism in search of singular destinations...\n\n\nTitle : Hulk on tour - Galaxy Announcements series\n\nFine Art Print on 300gsm cotton paper\n\nDimensions 50x70 cm\n\nSigned and numbered by the artist\n\nEdition 14/50\n\nNew work, kept flat\n\nDelivered with a signed certificate of authenticity\n\nAll works are protected with kraft paper and shipped in reinforced tubes. Shipping insured with tracking number.\n\n\nBiography :\n\nKobalt, born in Paris in 1970, embodies the path of a polymorphic 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 discovers very early his first passion, music creation. This passion guides him in his youth, and his early talents lead him to make a bold decision: to invest the money intended to fund his higher studies into creating his first album.\n\nDistributed by EMI, the album does not meet the expected success, but it marks the beginning of an artistic career rich in experimentation.\n\nAlongside 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 by creating and producing the magazine’s advertising campaigns.\n\nThe 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 photo agency, highlighting his entrepreneurial spirit.\n\nIn 2017, Kobalt makes a radical choice to sell his agency in order 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 more than 3000 works sold in galleries and online to this day.\n\nHis artistic approach is marked by bold use of humor, provocation and anachronisms, with a particular penchant for the misappropriation of magazine covers, a style that makes him instantly recognizable.\n\nDespite 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.
