Japanese-American artist KATSU and Belgian artist Frédéric Platéushave revealed their latest collaborative monochromatic art exhibition, 'DAS INTELLIGENCE.' KATSU specializes in graffiti art that addresses commercialism, privacy, and digital culture. On the other hand, Frédéric Platéushave specializes in artistic industrial design that dwells in technology, science, and motorsport aesthetics.
The art exhibition contains both artists' work in monochromatic colors. Frédéric Platéus' artwork focuses on the field of supercars with materials made of fake leather, nylon, and mesh. An example would be his MK12-325 Punch, a quixotic aesthetic built in similar shapes of an inverted triangle form with several hole patterns. KATSU's artwork entails hybridized portraits and landscapes. One, in particular, contains a blank canvas with black graffiti drawn in large dark spots. There is also an artwork that combines both KATSU and Platéus' specialties called MK7-150 Dot Punch, which contains both graffiti and the shape design. DAS INTELLIGENCE will be on view at Ruttkowski;68 in Cologne until May 28.
