Alex Trochut appears to be able to do

anything. In a world w

here specificity, and uber-division of labor is not only the norm

, but a growing pattern, w

e decreasingly find craftsm

en and artists w

ho can execute a wide array of design

approaches. Aesthetically, his graphics

and illustrations run the gamut from

acid-dream

liquid movem

ents, to angular, sym

metrically based w

ork. In either case, proportion and space condone the art, and yield a poignancy that requires a closer look. H

is versatility has opened doors to various projects, and inspires an evolutionary attitude tow

ard his craft, his very own,

“more is m

ore” approach.
