Hybrid Creativity [Edit]

What happens when design and art mingle? A creation of works that is very pertinent and so modern. For Didier Chipan (also known as Did), a French artist living and working in Paris, this creative mix is natural. Interested in art at a young age, he worked in several design agencies where his true passion for art developed. At a time when innovation has become more precious than ever, Didier Chipan declares, “Today, there are no boundaries between art and design. Most international art fairs have understood this, and they are integrating more stands dedicated to design.”

His works are well thought-out and well-named, such as Vive Eole (“Living Zepyr” communicating about the environment and accentuating the notion of wind as a natural element for the function of objects such as frisbees and kites) or Pour Messagerie Artistique (”For Artistic Messaging,” showing that new technologies such as the Internet are completely shaking up the art market).
