德國街頭藝術家 梵・雷 (Van Ray)
不以簡潔、工整的方式呈現作品,保留古董歷經百年後的種種,並以純粹且誠實的樣貌帶給觀者最直接的感受,每個划痕都講述一個故事,而每個瑕疵的斑點使它更加完美。如同我們的缺陷和無能造就一個更好的自己,而不是完美本身。



梵・雷
的創作除了融合街頭藝術、波普藝術、當代藝術,及他獨特藝術風格的基本元素之外,不遺漏自身對的社會批評的意圖與初衷。
藝術家近期更嘗試突破過去之創作,嘗試於鐵皮、壓克力玻璃、木板或老舊的自動販賣機上使用多種不同之技術創作,例如氣溶膠塗料、壓克力、拼貼和各種不同媒材之裝飾。

德國街頭藝術家 梵・雷

(Van Ray)

自小於八十年代的巴黎“
Pochoir運動”的影響下長大。“Pochoir運動”是暗示藝術是公眾對社會批評的一種表達,由於深受藝術影響,藝術家開始借助塗鴉來表達自己對社會的看法。
2007年,由於個人發展計畫以及“Pochoir運動”在科隆逐漸興起,梵・雷借此機會創立藝術家合作計畫“fancyroom”,努力嘗試為設計與街頭藝術製造共同創作之機會。其合作更成為跨界合作,與多家公司聯名製作成為服飾商品。同時期,藝術家梵・雷展出多件版畫作品,以多種不同樣貌在藝術圈逐漸深根。


「在接觸藝術的過程我覺得我別無選擇,我所知道的一切就是塗鴉。它沒有規則因此能保有全部的真實。」-
Van Ray
