Cuypi: Life Is A Gift
0Posted by jelka | December 15, 2009French graphic designer and illustrator Cuypi, who is responsible for the design of one of our nice VKMP3-Shirts, will have his first solo exhibition opening tomorrow, Wednesday December 16th, at West Berlin Gallery.
One of his predominant topics as well as a constant source of inspiration is music: ‚It’s the rhythm of my life, and my life is the rhythm of my music. Before I start drawing an illustration, I put my headphones on and choose a playlist which matches my mood. Then I try to translate feelings into images’ (Cuypi).
The exhibition at West Berlin Gallery will show a broad overview of Cuypi’s artistic expression, including digital prints on canvas, shirts, toys and skateboards. The opening will take place on Wednesday, December 16th, starting 19:00. Come around and see some cool music-inspired designs, enjoy Massimiliano Pagliara playing straight vinyl and have some decent drinks! For the bar West Berlin Gallery will have the friendly support of Becks who will provide you with fresh and free beer. Of course you can also cop the VKMP3-Shirts at the gallery, so why not come around to get the last christmas presents? ;)
Learn more about Cuypi’s work by reading this interview I made with him, check out a podcast by Massi over here and have a look at the Becks Gold Urban Experiences, which is a quite interesting project.
