Discover the contemporary work of Block513
“For me, art must be simple and easy to access. I like and hope that my work leaves room for dreams and the happiness of life. Sometimes seeming too simple for some adults, but understood by all those who have kept a child's soul”
French artist Block513 lives between Paris, Brittany and London.
The starting point for his plastic and pictorial work is found in through his research around his "Worms".
Coming from the Celtic and Scandinavian cultures of the Korrigans, Elves and Trolls, Block513's "Worms" form a graphic universe populated by funny and mischievous little characters.
His world is wonderful, simple and joyful, like in a waking dream. Young and old can find themselves there in an offbeat spirit, capable of de-dramatizing everyone's situation.
From his little fantastic and supernatural beings, the artist offers an original graphic creation. Through his approach and expression of the line, the rhythm of the line, he codifies a new form of writing. He seeks the boundary between the readable and the illegible, methodically pursuing his work towards abstraction and minimalism.
He is particularly attracted by the idea of creating a pictorial language, the right balance between form, act and intention. Game of infinite variations of graffiti art with the different movements of Pop Art and the geometry of curves.
Block513 likes to intervene both outdoors and indoors with murals, canvases as well as on objects: skateboards, sneakers, pottery, jerrycans, etc. Everyday objects that he rehabilitates in the form of sculpture so that they become works of "Sustainable Pop Art". . Designer and painter Block513 has notably created a series of works on banknotes entitled "Art is Money / Money is Art".
