Nikki Küntzle

Nikki Küntzle est une jeune artiste multidisciplinaire à l’intérêt marqué pour la création d’œuvres de grand format, d’œuvres d’art public ou de murales. Elle pratique différents médiums tels que la sérigraphie, la peinture, l’aérosol ou le collage. Nikki puise son inspiration dans le minimalisme, l’illustration, le design graphique et l’art de la rue. L’emploi de couleurs vives et contrastées, liées à une esthétique minimaliste, lui permet de créer un effet pop-art. Elle cherche à créer une connexion avec le spectateur en faisant dialoguer ses propres expériences avec des expériences humaines afin de refléter un sentiment collectif.

Artwork description

Her goal: Inclusivity

This new work focuses on the theme of inclusivity, using the imagery of a lush flower garden with a touch of surrealism to represent the beauty of diversity and inclusivity. A garden of blossoming human faces and diverse forms emerges from the flowers, plants with multiple reliefs and colors rub shoulders and live side by side. Gardens (a paraphrase of our society) are an excellent example of how variety and inclusivity can make things prosperous, sustainable, more beautiful and stronger.

For this piece, Nikki chose to use the modest exposure he has (and his soft voice) to promote local (or recently arrived) artists whose (hard) work he respects and admires, and with their permission, used them as references for his flower garden.
