Background Information about Cless
Introduction
Braving the gap
The artist, Cless, resides in Valladolid and has become a star in the international creative-art scene. In the 1990s, he left behind his first designs as distinctive graffiti on the walls of buildings. Today, he draws his ideas from the wide repertoire of the street art scene and mixes them with the provocative poster style of the 1970s. The Brazilian artist, Eduardo Recife, definitely inspired Cless with his succinct, slightly surreal collage style.
Cless’ collages are a harmonious interaction between typography, design, logos, and the amusing details of pop art. Despite the fragility of his silhouettes, Cless is able to create a surprisingly powerful narrative. They appear to float freely on mono-coloured backgrounds, creating space for wonderfully effortless insights. We solve small puzzles while viewing the pictures, as if searching for secrets hidden behind the elegant cut-outs.
