Roman Klonek: Flux Gate Kasachok
The work of Polish-born Roman Klonek is largely influenced by Eastern European cartoon styles. In the 1990’s he studied Graphic Arts in Düsseldorf, where he discovered a passion for woodcut printing. The prints he creates are populated by a wide range of whimsical creatures, mostly half animal/half human, and often presented in awkward or hair-raising situations. Klonek succeeds in creating worlds featuring a bizarre balancing act between folklore and popular culture; the reduced forms of the woodcuts he produces are reminiscent of the first days of comics and cartoons. He founded the Gallery Revolver in 2001, bought a printing press and started a never-ending range of woodcut printings. Roman Klonek works together with friends in a studio in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Kemistry Gallery are showing a range of Klonek’s woodcuts created especially for the exhibition, which will be available for purchase exclusively from the gallery or the webshop.
