APP : TASK 4 FINDING A MENTOR


For this task find one companies, designers, artists or photography do further detailed about on them. When i research i found one Artist called Kris Trappeniers is a stencil artist based in Belgium. He cuts out his ballpoint drawings by hand, creating intricate stencils for use on vinyl, canvas, cardboard, wood and walls. 

He studied art history and advertising art at the academy of Leuven (SLAC).
Versatile and experimental approach to stencil, inspired by traditional Japanese papercuts (kiri-e), anti-pop culture in the eighties and the arts & crafts movement of the 19th century.

He using Stencil and papercut design is based on small intricate ink drawings, often the stencil is used just once (as opposed to serigraphy), afterwards the pochoir is colored with acrylics and ttransforms into a decorative artwork itself. This cycle forces the artist to continuously come up with new designs and run through the cycle again. 

What he doing the process from drawing to finished work is completely analogue, without the use of software or photo filters. Some designs involve more geometrics, resulting in analog halftone designs with a 'trompe l'oeil' effect. 

He is really good in paper cutting, it is not easy to cut it out. In the other hand, this is what i proud of this artist. For me sure cannot do that cut out by hand to make stencils.
