Gary Card

Gary Card is a Bournemouth born artist, set designer and illustrator now based in London. He moved to London at 17 to study theatre design at Central Saint Martins. His first commission was designing covers for Penguin’s kafka reprints, he has since been unrelentingly commissioned for commercial fashion jobs. Gary has created works for the likes of Comme Des Garçons, Dover Street Market, Nike, LN-CC, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood and Charles Jeffrey Loverboy.

In his solo exhibition “HYSTERICAL.” at Phillips London, Gary said, “I want the viewer to be thrown into a darkly comic world, part psychedelic fever dream, part saccharine cartoon chaos. Like finding a tarantula in a bunch of bananas, these works capture something inherently sinister while appearing equally absurd and disarming.”

Gary Card是一位出生於英國伯恩茅斯的藝術家、佈景設計師和插畫家，現居於倫敦。 17 歲時，他從家鄉搬到倫敦，在中央聖馬丁學院學習戲劇設計。 他的第一個委託是為企鵝出版集團（Penguin Books）的卡夫卡重印版設計封面，此後他一直不斷地接受商業及時尚設計工作的委託。 Gary 為川久保玲旗下的Comme Des Garçons和Dover Street Market、Nike、LN-CC、Hermes、Louis Vuitton、Vivienne Westwood 和 Charles Jeffrey Loverboy 等品牌創作了作品。

在他的Phillips倫敦個展《歇斯底里》中，Gary表示：「我希望觀眾被帶入一個黑暗的喜劇世界，一半是迷幻的狂熱夢想，一半是甜膩的混亂卡通。 就像在一堆香蕉中找到狼蛛一樣，這些作品捕捉了一些本質上險惡的東西，同時又會顯得荒謬和及令人無法警惕。」
