Art director and designer Gilles de Brock’s designs are informed by “the limitations of the medium” he uses in each project. Psychedelic in colour choice and composition, Gilles creates work for long-term clients, who give him the trust and freedom he needs to experiment. Having worked with Nike, Metahaven, and most recently Red Bull, Gilles hopes to convey his own reflections on a subject in ways that the client may not have previously considered.

Starting of this week with close ups of some early silk screen prints that where made right after art school. In these prints I attempted to find back joy in designing intuitively and allowing myself to experiment.

This series is where I started to seperate the image and the type, looking back at it now I realise I havent really used type prominently in designs since.

When I got rid of typo I started to see the designs as structures and went looking for new surfaces to apply those on. These carpets became the first big works I made outside of the safe boundaries of graphic design. #tufting #tuftinggun #graphicdesign

In order to make these carpets I had to teach myself how to paint wool, operate a tufting gun and all other things like building a frame. All and all it was a very rewarding experience but I had totally overlooked how much work it would be. #tufting #tuftinggun #graphicdesign @gillesdebrock

After the carpets I got interested in making ceramics but I felt the existing techniques to translate a digital design to ceramic glaze didn't work for me so I decided to build a printer that could. In the video you can see this printer being tested with acrylics on paper. #cncmachine #graphicdesign #airbrush @gillesdebrock

When I printed this burger I was so fed up with the machine not doing what I wanted it to do that I just kept going untill I worked it out. Thats when I realised I needed use retarder and get a better compressor. #airbrush #cnc #graphicdesign #iwata @gillesdebrock

I got totally side tracked from making ceramics because I had completely underestimated the complexity of creating a printer for ceramic glazes, I did however already have what turned out to be more or less a shitty inktjet printer that could print on anything. What you see here is some @bonnesuits and a curtain at a little exhibition at @teamthursday. #graphicdesign #cnc #airbrush @gillesdebrock

It took me a really long time to figure out how create works with the super low resulotion that the machine is able to handle but with this painting it all started to work together for the first time. #cnc #airbrush #contemporarypainting #graphicdesign @gillesdebrock

Since im used to transparant inks from silk screen printing I didnt know how to work with the opaque acrylics that are available for airbrushing in this print I started to layer them for the first time. #cnc #airbrush #graphicdesign #contemporarypainting @gillesdebrock
