A tagger of time and of his time, Skoda One is obsessed with the indefinable, impalpable and infinitely securable T moment.
His approach is to materialize the immaterial, to show the invisible. He seeks to conceptualize and frame time, which rushes by without ever stopping.
To this end, Skoda One has carried out a wide range of creative explorations in, among other things, design and photography. Work on the latter, capable of "capturing time", has greatly influenced his current artistic activity.
His works are characterized by a tendency towards geometry and repetition, with a rigor and minimalism bordering on asceticism. There's an almost surgical cleanliness to his work: "You always need to tidy up your home to tidy up your head. For me, when I'm creating, there's always a moment of plenitude. All the drawings I make are filed and catalogued. I time-stamp all my drawings, which contextualizes them. Time-stamping is also a way of working with time."
Indeed, at the bottom of each of his works, a series of numbers refers to the length of time spent creating.
Skoda One's work thus shows a constant search for dynamics between an overall concept and a form that responds to it.
A conceptual artist, he finds his inspiration and medium of expression in the Parisian graffiti scene of the 90s. Countless small motifs, generally composed of the letters of his blaze, cover the entire composition, creating a dense, iterative structure.
His works have a meditative character, even allowing the artist to achieve a kind of catharsis during the creative process.
In this way, a repetitive effort with the air of punishment becomes a pathway to pleasure, first for the creator and then for the viewer.
