Starting right about now, you’ll be seeing a lot about Absolut Blank, a global creative movement.
Absolut is that rarity in business – a sponsor with taste. They have previously collaborated with artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Douglas Gordon and Louise Bourgeois.
For this world-encompassing project, Absolut has commissioned artists from a variety of creative disciplines; from drawing, painting and sculpting to print making, film making and digital art. Among the artworks are UVA’s high intensity, bright and striking light installations, Mario Wagner’s cut-out imagery and the graphic design of Robert Mars, the colorful painting of Dave Kinsey and the detailed work of Good Wives and Warriors, best known for making labor-intensive, imaginative, intricate and large-scale drawings with titles such as ‘Giant Squids Attacking the Earth’.
Absolut has also created a personal, organic art piece that lives and evolves in your mobile phone. Download the application and feed your Absolut Blank silhouette with audio-visual inspiration. See the bottle shape morph and develop over time, then share your final art piece on Facebook. Voilà! You are an Absolut artist.
