GREEN FLOWERS ARTPRESENTATION

PUPPET (Daniel Blomqvist)Puppet est une légende du graffiti suédois. Il a commencé en tagguant son nom sur des bus en 1983 en Suède et fait partie de la première vague de graffeurs européens. Il a atteint une renommée internationale avec son travail : « I’II burn you all » en 1989 (Museum de l’Histoire du Graffiti à New York).

Puppet a travaillé avec de nombreuses entreprises et partenaires (Marc Jacobs, Coca, MTV, Nike, H&M). Il participe à des projets artistiques dans le monde entier, a notamment été invité pour réaliser un mur à ART Basel Miami 2012, et aussi le décor de « Swan Lake » spectacle de Fredrik « Benke » Rydman qui fut en tournée à Paris en octobre 2013. Puppet a collaboré avec Jamie Oliver (food revolution day, 2013). Agnès B a découvert son travail à Brooklyn et l’a invité pour un « private show » dans sa galerie à Paris (2012). La même année il réalise une performance avec Quik à Opera Gallery « make art not war », et la galerie Golles lui consacre un solo show en Autriche.

Son inspiration vient de la vie quotidienne, de la complexité de vivre en ce début de XXIe siècle. Il travaille principalement à base de lignes (GRID STYLE), et nous explique sa démarche:

«The grid is a visual structure that lies at the heart of contemporary art.

We can find traces of the grid back to the very beginnings of human civilization,or when it came prominence in the early 20th century in the abstractions of the Russian painter Malevich and the Dutch-born Piet Mondrian, who was widely considered the "most modern" artist of his time.

For more then a decade I implanted the grids with my early 1983 graffiti writing days with the complexity of living in the Now. Its a trademark for my work.

I simply avoid to reflect back to the geometry of the built environment and letting the Grids be just a decorative effect slaved under the ruler. Its such a minor and secondary role. I try to put it in a wider perspective, with colors in layers to move towards your inner thoughts presents a sense of possibility, randomness and the infinite. Lets take the grids from constraint to a liberation make you walk away with a sense rather then just a picture »
