Portrait of Frederic Plateus in his studio

Frédéric Platéus1 collaborationFrédéric Platéus is a self-taught artist who aestheticises a wealth of his own interests from motorsports to space travel. His signature ‘Anabolic Panels’ are abstract reliefs that contain bulging PVC compositions. After being carefully designed, each individual panel is cut from wood, stretched, and sealed with heat onto custom-made PVC. When assembled, Platéus screen-prints onto the glossy surfaces, usually in a palette of primary colours, along with white, silver and the occasional neon. A range of influences inspire the works including street art, pop culture and minimalism. Humour and irony run throughout all of the works. MK5-160 (2019) for instance is based on a gun. While its inspiration is an archetype of masculine violence, Platéus sabotages its viciousness by making it abstract - more cartoon zombie gun than real weapon. In doing so, he undermines the very archetypes he draws from.

Review of Actual Size
I was lucky enough to have been invited to see the creation of this piece of work back in June and met the fantastic Miwa so seeing this print now is just fantastic. The colours are every bit as vibrant as the original.
