How would you describe your style?
I would never describe my own style but make people see it themselves.
Why do you like expressing absurdity in your illustrations so much?
It is never my goal to express absurdity, I accidentally come up with illustrations that seem absurd to other people.
It seems to me that you like to use satire in your pieces of art. Is there any satire or allegory involved in the paint of this chair?
We will see when I have finished the chair design.
What do you want this chair to tell people?
I do not want the chair to tell people anything, I want people to see it and have feelings which they keep to themselves. I don t believe in “art must tell something”. Either you feel something or you don’t. Nevertheless, I hope you will feel something when seeing my chair.
How or where do you want this chair used or to be placed?
On the top of a mountain.
You will be able to register for each of the seats on our Releases platform from 9 December. The Reebok meets Footshop collection will also appear on the web on the same day. We will draw the winner of the seats 5 days later. Good luck!
