 |
| Active since 1993, Erosie has developed a totally unique style that in his own words "...looks for parallels between and the nuances of the graffiti-codes, the illustrated image, commercial visual language and the traditions of art..." His goals are to use, confirm, deny or question these fields visually and/or conceptually in the quest to define his own personal visual language, which is a mixture of street art and pop art. He uses humor, mixes graffiti lettering with typography, challenges us with puns and wordplay and his illustrative style is a cross between Edward Gorey and Robert Crumb — think no further than the headless chicken or the two rappers, Jay-Z and Nas, battling it out in cartoon form. |

| about: |
|
|
 |
| Erosie |
| I try to look for the parallels between, and the nuances of the graffiti-codes, the illustrated image, commercial visual language and the traditions of art, since all of these fields belong to my background and my present-day interests. I try to use, confirm, deny or question these fields visually and/or conceptually in the quest to define my personal visual language. |
| Next to that I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing, but try to get away with it anyway. |
