CHRISTIAN MONTENEGRO (Argentina) Lecture
Pop visuals meet the Genesis
Alongside teaching Morphology at the Buenos Aires University
for graphic design, young and very up-coming artist Christian
Montenegro has worked as a freelance illustrator for international
publications and campaigns.
His new book, published by Berlin’s Die Gestalten Verlag,
has literally redesigned the Bible, including stories of creation,
Adam and Eve, Noah’s ark, the Tower of Babel and Sodom and
Gomorrah.
While Montenegro’s designs have more in common with the
emotions of Expressionism and the texture of woodblock prints,
their distinctly contemporary feel gives them a stylish cutting-edge
appeal.
We’re hoping his talk will give us a long-awaited glimpse
of how he actually makes these fantastic creations.
