Piet Paris - Illustrator

[Avant Garde]

"Paris thinks of his illustrations as 'abstract fashion statements'. His colorful, graphic work is made with stencils created from an initial sketch and colored with acrylic, gouache or pastel using a paint roller. Paris aims to achieve 'high fashion impact' with as few means as possible. He admires what is well and simply made, especially the paintings of Vermeer."
