French in Australia

December 27, 2008

It has been a busy year for British artist French. He’s just returned from down under where he conquered the entire fifth continent with his unique art.

French had exhibitions in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney.

Each exhibition had different installations and the feedback was as positive as massive as well:

French’s exhibitions in Australia are another fine addition to this year’s collaborations between French and us like the artwork he provided for Carhartt x Vans, the Musket and Hook Challenge at Hellfest, and various other projects.

    Chaz Bojórquez: AT WHAT AGE DID YOU BECOME AWARE OF THE ART OF CALLIGRAPHY? WHY DID IT BECOME IMPORTANT TO YOU?
    Luca Barcellona:     When I was very young, mother made me play this game in the car so that I could recognise and read the store signs. I was really fascinated by the letters. So big, so many colours, and each sign so different. I remember the type, Estro, by Aldo Novarese. They used it for the intros to certain cartoons; it was a type for kids that ended up being used for spaghetti westerns! And then there was the type on the packaging of supermarket candy and junk-food I was always trying to copy.
