Some people have bar buddies. I have art addicts, people who see art everywhere or are inspired to create stuff because of the little things in life. Another artist representing Poland: Konrad Kirpluk! My new friend and fellow art addict, he loves art any way he can get it. But thank God that unlike me he has a magic tube of paint bursting with artistic ability that he's been dipping his fingers in since childhood. Inspired by anything, he works non stop wreaking digital pandemonium on your eyes with cutting edge vectors and illustrations.
Here's a peek at one of Konrad's latest projects. He's amassed at least 30 ultra urbanite caricatures part of an experiment working with fixed strokes and shapes as he further develops his style. I think of this as a work in progress since he's always updating it. All of these are done using Adobe Illustrator. It's a vector editor packaged in the Adobe Creative Suite. Different from your photo manipulation programs where you touch up an already created image, vector editors let you change geometric components of images such as points, lines, curves, and shapes. It's more practical for typography or logo creation, which is what Konrad does primarily.
When Konrad isn't playing around with vectors he's making logos for companies like Nike, Footlocker, and Mammoth; companies that thrive on motion and encourage people to push the boundaries of human potential. Looking at Konrad's designs, you'll see they are very progressive, highly animated, and threat- ening to leap off the screen at any moment. The reason his work is so intense is because he's channeling all the restless, super charged energy from the world around him, including the geometrical realm. Yes. Look at his designs. It may be subtle but it is there. He uses curves, lines, angles, and shapes as the foundation for his masterpieces. Geometry never looked so cool.
About the Art Addict
Probably the most exciting thing about Konrad's work is Konrad himself. He is very emphatic about his art and that resonates with his personality. And though his expertise lies in the digital he is no stranger to the many art forms out there. From print to digital, Dali to Warhol, he appreciates it all and lets his passion fuel his projects as he's always looking to expand his repertoire to make art that is just as inspiring as he was to create it.
Art this awesome, you can bet Konrad's put his brand all over the web. To check out more of his mind blowing work visit his deviantart, society6 or behance page where he's setting up shop and showcasing all kinds of graphical goodness.
