First it was the awesome Monster Inked exhibition, and now this. The 2009 Pictopia Festival is upon us - bring it on!
For those not familiar with the unique Pictopia Festival, I’ll briefly explain it is an art show centered around ‘character design’. It showcases artists’ work from all over the world, which are exhibited in more than 30 galleries. This year it took place in Berlin.
The worldwide explosion of character design at the beginning of the millennium changed visual culture distinctively.
These graphically pared down and bright-eyed pictograms spread like wildfire across digital media, advertising, fashion and art. They playfully sample and remix the visual codes of pop, folklore, brand logos and comics, but resist being restricted to any one genre.
