Biography
Charl Vinz is a Franco-Luxembourgish designer.
Having always drawn, the artist really began to devote himself to illustration during the confinement linked to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Thus taking advantage of this period of forced break, Charl Vinz, already well known in the Luxembourg cultural landscape, very quickly received its first orders.
As a great fan of architectural sketches, he creates illustrations, often in black and white, and always with a profusion of details.
Charl Vinz has exhibited in numerous cultural venues such as Am Gronn, at the Lager Kultur, at the Rotondes, as well as at the Kulturfabrik, where he illustrated the program for a year.
Furthermore, the artist, very interested in current affairs and politics, develops sociological projects, such as that with the Chambre des Salariés, illustrating the commuting journeys of people working in Luxembourg.
Concept
The press and Art in the broadest sense hold a power that is both liberating and alienating. Charl Vinz intends to create a newspaper to celebrate their historical link. To do this, the artist wants to use different printing techniques characteristic of key periods in the history of printing.
The press is the mainstay of our democracies, disseminating information that then guides our judgements and decisions. The artist wants to appropriate the newspaper format to show its importance as well as its fragility. The newspaper will illustrate an imaginary, utopian world, while casting a critical eye on the real world.
