ARCHY
Archy is a Swiss artist who lives and works in the canton of Vaud. Born in 1988, he has been creating images and objects from pop culture since 2020. Cinema, music, television and fashion all feed the collective imagination with their icons.
He recovers the signs to create new ones, formatted and standardized, while preserving their meaning and language. His minimal, unchanging graphic approach reduces these entertainment archetypes to their simplest expression.
With his Pop Art roots, Archy uses bright, contrasting colors, infusing his works with the same power of attraction as his subjects.
" A Small World "
This minimalist Pop work pays homage to the icons that have marked our collective imagination, revisiting their image through a simple graphic approach with stylized forms.
Each character is designed to intrigue, seduce and evoke an emotion in the viewer, while offering a new reading of the familiar. Far from diminishing the impact of these iconic figures, minimalism actually intensifies their evocative power.
This collection of paintings and totems reflects an artistic approach that combines simplicity and depth, combining the familiar with the unexpected.
My artistic journey is shaped by the works of KAWS, Damien Hirst, Piet Mondrian & Yayoi Kusama, whose creativity and vision continue to inspire
Working with acrylic in solid colors, volumes are created block by block. Various techniques, such as stencilling and airbrushing, are used to dress each character and capture the many colors and details. Numbered and signed to guarantee their authenticity and uniqueness, the canvases are hand-mounted on 38mm-thick solid wood frames.
