Pintura Naomi por Gustavsen Karl | Pintura Figurative Subject matter Portrait Wood Cardboard Gluing

Karl graduated from the Chambre Syndicale School of Fashion in Paris in 1991. He then became a stylist for several major international designers (Angelo Tarlazzi, Karl Lagerfeld, Andres Sarda) and held this job for several years before devoting himself to his artistic activity. His first exhibition was in 1990. In 1992, he participated in a performance show organized by the Paul Ricard Cultural Centre (Paris). In his work, the artist fixes trivial and ephemeral moments of everyday life on the background: awoman powdering her hair or face, a man with a drink at the bar... His characters pose in front of the intrigued viewer. Broken and fragmented, they propose a poetic alternative to reality.
