Typo Apeloig
Typo Apeloig is the current exhibition of Philippe Apeloig’s current being held at the Ville d’Aix-en-Provence. Apeloig chooses the world of typography to transcribe emotions from painting, literature and dance into his work. He creates his posters as paintings, which sometimes continue to develop after the formal presentation of the project.
This exhibition highlights the dialogue between graphic design and art, revealed by multiple influences that can be seen transcribed in his work as graphic designer over the years. Typo Apeloig is also a tribute to the commitment between Philippe Apeloig and the Ville d’Aix-en-Provence, initiated in 1997 with Les Écritures Croisées, as part of the Fête du Livre (Book festival) devoted to South African literature.
As part of the exhibition Apeloig will be dictating conferences at the Cité du Livre, Aix-en-Provence and the Amphithéâtre de la Verrière, Galerie Zola. For for information check out Apeloig’s website.
