Henrik Vibskov – Berlin
Henrik Vibskov stopped by Berlin for a quick visit this past Sunday, where he presented his latest book of graphic works, entitled ‘The Panda People and Other Works.’
The designer-turned-musician-turned-artist gave a short talk and Q&A session in Mitte’s Pool Gallery, where the original prints are currently exhibiting. Vibskov uses archaic decidedly processes when creating his prints, using wood and stone engravings, complementing the Japanese Binding technique with which the book is held together.
The prints are identifiable as belonging to Vibskov’s mad world, but as he confirmed, do not necessarily correlate with his fashion endeavours. Simplistic, graphic, and almost childish, the pieces are medium specific, mostly inconceivable as being printed on textile.
