design & designer 039 Krsn >>> £12.95

published by Pyramyd Editions

An art director and illustrator, KRSN cut his teeth on the graffiti scene in the early 1990s. Without ever forgoing his aerosol sprays and Posca paint pens, he has developed a personal style shot through with dark irony.

Taking a novelistic approach, he combines illustration, graffiti and painting, drawing inspiration from everyday life to create characters made of fine, pared-down lines. KRSN operates at the intersection of graffiti, graphic art and illustration. Using a variety of supports – stickers, paper, walls, card, fabric – he compels attention with a personal style that is both disturbing and mysterious. Mutilated and disjointed characters begin their life at the ephemeral tip of his ballpoint, a favourite tool. Besides his artistic and other self-initiated projects, which take up most of his time, he collaborates with WAD and Clark magazines, and does illustrations for covers of discs released by the Institubes label.
