44FLAVOURS at HVW8 Berlin

HVW8 Gallery Berlin Presents :

RECONSIDERATION

44FLAVOURS

Opening: April 7th, 2018
Exhibition: April 11th–April 21st, 2018

For over a decade, Julio Rölle and Sebastian Bagge have been working collaboratively at the intersection of art and design. Their practice is rooted in graffiti and graphic design, which continues to inform their style, technique and light- hearted approach to making. Rölle and Bagge have an unshakeable DIY-attitude: they celebrate the ability to improvise and transform any piece of paper, wood or fabric into a work of art. Their ethos is keeping it analogue.

44flavours is a living dialogue. Not just existing between the creative duo themselves, but connecting them with all forms of visual culture that surround and inspire them. This dynamic enables Rölle and Bagge to incorporate traditional points of reference with a playful touch, informed by current visual phenomena.
