About the Exhibition: “One Day in Funkypolis”
Daniel Kalinski, aka CHAZME 718, is the Swiss-born artist and architect who is changing the way society relates to the urban landscape. The towering, unflappable structures that make up our environment can feel daunting. How do we relate to an authority with overwhelming power, such as the very city we reside in?
Speaking the language of urbanity, Kalinski seamlessly integrates his murals into the cityscape while at the same time animating the otherwise austere architecture. Through geometric forms, shadow, and light, Kalinski provides a pathway for the passerby to enter into their environment. The relief and rediscovery this realizes in the viewer accents the urgent need to reevaluate our connection to the very place we call home. Kalinski’s paintings synchronize the exterior city with the true flurry of life that happens just beyond the surface.
Referencing the op art of Giorgio De Chirico and Maurits Cornelis Escher, Kalinkski’s works resides in an important canon of art that will continue to comment on, and reflect, the attitudes of our increasingly manmade modernity. -Maia Jackson
About the Artist:
Daniel Kalinski aka Chazme graduated from the teaching school of Architect in Warsaw, Poland. His work has always tied together his love for architecture and the beauty of urban landscapes. He has exhibited internationally and his most recent works have become a critique of urban planning, challenging the viewer to think about the spaces we live in. His work has been displayed in prominent exhibitions around the world including France and China. He was the winner of the ARTAQ urban art award in 2011 and has exhibited in the Urban Art Fair in Paris, France.
