Augustine Kofie explique comment, après plus de 20 ans de pratique, il a été amené à faire ses collages et ses peintures abstraits. Depuis son enfance où sa mère lui fabrique des vêtements customisés, il prend l’habitude de récupérer des matériaux divers pour les inclure dans ses oeuvres. Le graffiti et la culture hip-hop avec le sampling, dont il s’inspire, l’aident à forger son style. Il trouve enfin une inspiration supplémentaire dans la peinture constructiviste ou chez des artistes comme Lee Bontecou, Ed Moses ou encore des architectes comme Lebbeus Woods ou Antonio Sant’Elia.

Augustine Kofie est un artiste urbain de Los Angeles connu pour ses abstractions et considéré comme le pionnier du graffuturisme. Issu d’une famille d’artistes et intéressé par les arts manuels, le graphisme et le dessin, il évolue d’abord dans le milieu du skateboard. Il y découvre un univers culturellement riche et varié en termes de musique et de références artistiques. De petits projets générés au hasard des rencontres, il plonge peu à peu dans l’expression qui deviendra son art.

L’artiste américain Tristan Eaton présente sa première exposition solo en Europe. Uprise est présentée à la Galerie Itinerrance du 9 juin au 8 juillet 2017.

Tristan Eaton est né en L.A en 1978, il a découvert le graffiti quand il était adolescent à Londres où ses parents avaient déménagés. Issu du skate, il a également été introduit au comics et aux illustrateurs subversifs britanniques qui sont toujours une influence dans son travail d’aujourd’hui.

Uprise est une histoire visuelle de protestation et de résistance. À l’ère de Donald Trump, du racisme croissant, de la xénophobie et des violations flagrantes des droits de l’homme dans le monde entier, Tristan Eaton espère un monde meilleur et au besoin de jeter hors du pouvoir ceux qui ne le méritent pas. Uprise est un regard sur l’histoire humaine qui montre comment les impuissants ont renversé les puissants et comment le petit peuple peut vaincre le tyran avec une protestation pacifique et le pouvoir des idées.

In the age of Donald Trump, rising racism and xenophobia and blatant human rights violations across the globe, Tristan Eaton hopes for a better world and a need to throw out of power those who don’t deserve it. Uprise is a look back on human history that shows how the powerless have risen to topple the powerful and how the little man can vanquish tyrants with peaceful protest and the power of ideas.
