“Sille’s creation is focused on painting, digital graphics, drawing, illustration and comics, street-art realizations and installations. His artistic programme is based on a reflection of present time situation with its specific visual elements and contemporary phenomena of a consumer society, globalization, information boom, and extreme commercialization. His approach, however, is an easy one- he criticizes without preaching, with a distinctive sense of humour, irony and hyperbole. In a natural way, he is adapting the outside world, individual elements of our (lack of) culture- oversaturated colour spectrum, simplified forms, attenuated differences, absurdity and brutality, emptiness of well known symbols and marks. Space, clean lines and colours reflect computer and comic aesthetics. This is one of the main external characteristics of Sille’s creative work, for which a computer generated picture, transported into this media, is emblematic.” (-DM-)
Erik Sille is Otex and Owad. He is the initiator of MUKEKE.
