Hopefully going to see this exhibition this weekend called ‘Pick Me Up.’
It’s a contemporary graphic art fair, which ends this weekend so need to go! There’s this one artist whose work looks awesome called Zim and Zou. Kind of like Matt Nicholson’s stuff… but its more colourful.
Lucie Thomas teamed up with Thibault Zimmermann to form Zim&Zou, a french studio based in Nancy that explores different fields including paper sculpture, installation, graphic design, illustration. Both aged 25, they studied graphic design during 3 years in an artschool. Rather than composing images on a computer, they prefer creating real objects with paper and taking photos out of them. A number of intricate illustrations actually come from the three-dimensional installations made by Zim&Zou. Their choice of paper is due to the versatility and good quality of the material, especially when it is sculpted and photographed. Zim&Zou's strength is to be a complementary and polyvalent duo.
I have 3 days in which to make this photo booth… that’s enough days for it to look GOOD. I originally wanted it to look pretty naff, like a child had made it. So crap that it was effectively good. But now I want it to look more professional like these two artists I’ve looked at. So it still LOOKS like a photo booth, but it’s obvious enough its entirely made out of card. Quite childish and playful, but at the same time, precise and exact.
