Sobald hier eine neue Kampagne plakatiert wird, zieht der misterioese De-brander mit schwarzer Spuehdose durch die ganze Stadt. Die Aktionen haben offenbar einen religoesen Hintergrund und diesmal konnte ich zum ersten Mal eine seiner Botschaften entdecken. Spannend! Und, ich finde, sehr aesthetisch.

Field Guide to Style & Color 2007

374 page book

This piece is a fullsize reproduction of the entire 2007 IKEA catalogue, leaving only color and structure.

With an estimated 175 million copies distributed in 2006, the IKEA catalogue is thought to have surpassed the Bible as the most published print-work in the world. This group of three projects (374 Farben, Field Guide to Style & Color, and Catalogue) transforms that ubiquity of design into varied pure color arrangements.

Zevs’s work primarily plays with and explores visual effects. Re-painting the logos in their own colours, the artist pours paint over them, liquidating one logo after another. Through the parallel lines of the drips, the logos dissolve in front of the viewers eyes, drawing attention to, and visually disturbing the recognizable and omnipresent trademark as illustrated above. By doing so, Zevs investigates the logo’s visual power.
