#114 - Jérôme Masi, David Bruce, Kitra
About Jérôme Masi
Hailing from France, the artist Jérôme Masi worked for years as a graphic designer, art director and illustrator, only to have focussed his attention to painting in recent years. In a distinctive style, through minimalist silhouettes, muted color palette his work refers to childhood memories and a time of worry and care free sense of play.
About David Bruce
In the suburbs of Paris, David Bruce discovered graffiti at a young age and immediately fell in love. From sketches to writing to painting trains, to eventually transcending into the studio painting and making sculptures. Nowadays working from his studio in Liege, Belgium, David has created a bold style that reminds us of contemporary pop art through his motifs of smileys, basketballs, and bananas.
About Kitra
Originally from the grim concrete landscape of communist Romania, and nowadays living and working in Berlin, where the artist known as Kitra draws his inspiration from the urban landscape, industrial design, and the digital world, using a mathematical approach to create his geometric abstract-minimalist compositions.
Destination: Näsets Marcusgård, Sweden
Back in 1910, a man called Marcus Eriksson founded Näsets Marcusgård in rural Sweden, about a four hours drive north of Stockholm. It started small, but soon the farm became the central meeting place in the area. Nowadays Näsets Marcusgård is run by two Dutch entrepreneurs, Mireille and Willem, who were immediately inspired to build a place that combines history and nature with modern comfort and quality.
