About by Ulrik Nørgaard
Blurring the boundaries between the ambiguity of fine art and the modern aestheticism of graphic design, Bucharest-based Dane, The Emperor of Antarctica (1983), works in multiple disciplines but communicates his interests and obsessions coherently and consistently across a range of creative platforms.
Taking on the twin roles of graphic designer and artist, the versatile creative produces visual art that is perhaps best described as neutral yet intricate meditations on form and human perception. The large-scale laser prints inspired by mathematics, symmetrical, Islamic construction patterns, and his developing interest in introspectivity, subvert the traditional distinction between form and content by seeking a purity of form that is inherently suspicious of narrative intent. In this way, the Emperor of Antarctica can be seen as an exponent of a complex dynamic that forces the viewer to contemplate the significance of form without narrative, matter without story.
