Biography
The French artist Charles Ballery, known as Block513, lives between Paris, Brittany and London.
The starting point of his plastic and pictorial work, he finds it through his research around his "Worms"
Coming from the Celtic culture of the Korrigans, Elves and Troles, the “Worms" of Block513 form a graphic universe populated by funny and mischievous little characters. From his fantastic and supernatural little beings, the artist creates a form of original typographies. He researches and renews his approach and his expression of the line, of the rhythm of the line and thus codifies a new form of writing. He seeks the border between the readable and the illegible, methodically pursuing his work towards abstraction and minimalism. He is particularly attracted by the idea of creating a pictorial language, which is a fair balance between form, act and intention.
Set of endless variations of optical art and the different movements of abstract and geometric art.
Block513 likes to intervene both outdoors and indoors with murals as well as on everyday objects that he rehabilitates in the form of sculpture so that they become a work of art.
On the Artprice side, his works are present in numerous collections both in France and internationally.
