Klosser

Half Haitian and raised in Spain, Axel Void was exposed to classical painting alongside graffiti, two contrasting artforms which have been influential in the work he creates today. A play on darkness and light, both in palette and subject matter, as an artist he has an ability to straddle duality, alongside a very strong technical ability to paint.

Located on the side of a kindergarten where he was simultaneously working on a documentary, Axel Void created this piece as a reflection on the meaning of play. Through the various stages of our lives, what does play mean to us? From where we sit now, in the houses we have built for ourselves, regressing to the age of playing with blocks and creating houses, the work evokes layers of thinking.
